Quick answer: Islamabad hosts 82 foreign diplomatic missions — embassies and high commissions — most of them inside the Diplomatic Enclave, G-5. There is no “embassy of Pakistan” in Islamabad; Pakistan’s own foreign-affairs authority is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Foreign Office Building, Constitution Avenue, G-5). To contact a specific embassy, use its official website or the MOFA directory at mofa.gov.pk.

An embassy is a foreign country’s mission in a host capital — so by definition Pakistan cannot have an embassy in its own capital. Commonwealth countries (UK, Canada, Australia, India, Bangladesh and others) call their missions high commissions instead of embassies; the function is identical. If you are a Pakistani citizen needing help abroad, you contact the Pakistani embassy in that country — and our Ministry of Foreign Affairs guide explains how.
