However, US Ambassador to Pakistan Thomas Simons will not be recalled in protest against Islamabad's nuclear tests, Rubin added. Celeste, who was in the US for an official assignment at the time of India's nuclear tests on May 11 and 13, was asked to stay on instead of returning to his post in New Delhi as a sign of protest against the Indian tests.
