The Pakistan Ministry of Foreign Affairs has responded to the reports that its ambassador to Turkmenistan, KK Wagan, was denied entry into the United States, confirming that the diplomat was in a private visit when the United States immigration authorities arrested him.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Tuesday that the matter is under investigation. “The Pakistani diplomat was traveling for personal reasons, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is investigating the issue.”
The United States had denied entrance to the Pakistan ambassador to Turkmenistan, Kk Wagan, and deported him upon arrival in Los Angeles, diplomatic sources confirmed.
According to the reports, the main diplomat, who had a valid visa from the United States, was traveling for a personal visit when immigration officials arrested him and ordered his immediate return to his last port port.
A senior official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Islamabad confirmed the deportation of Wagan, stating that the problem arose due to an “immigration objection.” Diplomatic sources suggest that the United States immigration system marked its entry into “controversial visa references”, but specific details remain without being clear.
Other sources cited by local media suggested that the denial of entry could be linked to the cases presented during the previous period of the envoy in the United States.
Wagan, an experienced diplomat, has served in several key positions, even as an attached general consul in Los Angeles and ambassador to Oman. His sudden deportation has led to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan to initiate investigation into the incident.
Ambassador Wagan is expected to be called to Islamabad for an explanation.
