Abdul Sattar (1931 – 23 June 2019) (/ˈɑːbdʊl səˈtɑːr/ AHB-duul sə-TAHR; Urdu: عبد الستار), was a Pakistani political scientist, career foreign service officer, diplomat, author of foreign policy, and nuclear strategist.[1]

Prior to being appointed Foreign minister of Pakistan in two non–consecutive terms, Sattar served in the Foreign ministry, first serving as ambassador to the Soviet Union and Permanent Representative of Pakistan to International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).[2][1]

He authored several books on Foreign policy, and won critical praise of his diplomatic skills and work. In a review of Sattar's book Pakistan's Foreign Policy, Amitabh Mattoo of India Today considered Sattar to be "one of the shrewdest foreign policy practitioners that Islamabad has ever produced".[3]
