United States Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan

The United States Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan (SRAP) was an office in the State Department that reported directly to the Secretary of State. Its purpose was to coordinate the department's activities in Afghanistan and Pakistan in connection with the Afghan war.

It transformed into the position of the U.S. Special Representative for Afghanistan Reconciliation (SRAR). The incumbent as of September 2018 is Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad.

gollark: That nameserver parses the DNS query and does stuff based on its contents.
gollark: If something wants to get records for a subdomain, they talk to my nameserver.
