Hillary Clinton Appoints Special Representative to Muslim Communities

As part of Secretary Clinton’s ongoing effort to reach out Muslims at home and abroad, she has created a new position for just that purpose:

“Farah Pandith, a Kashmiri-origin woman, has been appointed as special representative to Muslim communities in the US State Department.

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has appointed Pandith as in charge of a new office that is responsible for outreach with Muslims around the world, according to a notice of the State Department.

Pandith and her staff will carry out Clinton’s efforts to “engage with Muslims around the world on a people-to-people and organisational level”, the notification said.

Pandith previously was an adviser on Muslim engagement at the State Department, serving as a senior adviser to the assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs…”
