Just what is a "normal sized" embassy?
Not 56 acres that's for sure.
Only Press Tv appears to reporting this story.
Seems that the Indians have more concern for our country than some sold out Pakistanis. We do not need the americans in our country...hell nobody in the region needs them. We do not want them and their "aid". We don't want them to have any embassy of any sorts in Pakistan. We let the snakes in and now we are reaping the poisonous harvest.
“The NEC will provide an attractive, functional and secure facility for embassy employees and for US, Pakistani and third country citizens who use embassy services including visa applicants,” the fact-sheet states.
On the embassy’s request, the CDA has also allowed for a road to link the embassy with the Kashmir Highway; however the construction cost is expected to be borne by the beneficiary.
That was not a critique of Indians but of my own country men who have an inferiority complex and a slave mentality.P
You gave unhindered access to US 8ntelligence in the region, you gave them bases to operate out of, you joined them in destabilising various Asian countries in the region, your spy agency has tied up with theirs, you accept military aid and lease out services as mercenary forces, you enter into various ceato and cento kind of agreements with them, you are called as a major non nato ally, you operate international proxy groups and above all you are the one's who brought them into the region because of your shortcomings and your apprehensions...so yes, all your neighbors are worried.
Why not? A secure compound with its own open spaces would be a necessity given the law and order situation in Pakistan.
I like this new embassy, it's been cited as the "new" pentagon - the first one in Asia and Pakistan gets to host it.
I agree with the secure part though - especially when in the past the US embassy was burnt down in Pakistan in 1979, so fortified and camouflaged bunkers, 3 helipads, a small air strip, at least a thousand marines stationed and accommodations for at least 5000 staffers seem like overkill, though hard working US tax payers money is getting spent on this.
One obviously would raise doubts on the need for such an embassy, especially when there is news that the US will soon be upgrading it's embassies in Lahore and Peshawar too.
USA has only one embassy in Pakistan. The other sites you mention are only consulates.
