Afghan diplomat
Naseer Ahmad Faiq (Dari: نصیراحمد فایق) is an Afghan diplomat currently serving as the Chargé d’affaires ad interim of the Permanent Mission of Afghanistan to the United Nations in New York since 16 December 2021. He continues to represent Afghanistan at the UN following the political changes in Kabul in August 2021.
Early life and education
[edit]
Faiq was born in Kabul, Afghanistan, and completed his early education at Amani High School, graduating in 2001.
He earned a Bachelor’s degree in Law and Political Science from Kabul University in 2005, and later obtained a Master of Administrative Science (MASc) from Fairleigh Dickinson University in the United States in 2010.

He has also led Afghanistan’s delegations to the 77th, 78th, 79th, and 80th sessions of the United Nations General Assembly, delivering statements and engaging in multilateral discussions on human rights, humanitarian response, peacebuilding, and gender equality.
Following the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan in August 2021, the United Nations did not recognize the Taliban’s nominee for the Afghan seat. Faiq has since continued to serve as the acting head of mission of Afghanistan’s Permanent Mission to the UN, maintaining representation under the framework of the former Islamic Republic.
