In what appears to be a ***-for-tat move, the Foreign Ministry on Friday imposed reciprocal travel restrictions on American diplomats in the country as similar restrictions on the movement of Pakistani diplomats in the United States (US) comes into effect today.

A ministry notification issued to the US Embassy in Islamabad yesterday stated that the reciprocal measures would come into effect immediately after US restrictions are implemented.

The measures include travel restrictions, as well as treating US diplomatic cargo at Pakistani airports and ports in accordance with Vienna Convention's Article 27 "which does not provide for an exemption from scanning".

Rules governing interaction between foreign diplomats and Pakistani officials, which were already communicated to the embassy, would also take effect, the notification said.

Not allowed to put diplomatic number plates on rented vehicles, and not allowed to put non-diplomatic number plates onto official vehicles, is likely to be a much bigger concern than mere untinted glass windows (the occupants could put up a curtain or wear clothing that makes identification of the individual more difficult. ).
