Mohammad Nur Ahmad Etemadi (22 February 1921 – 16 September 1979[1]) was an Afghan diplomat and politician.
Due to a failure to improve the stagnating economy,[2] he lost both positions on 9 June 1971 and was named ambassador to Italy.
Unlike many politicians who were prominent under the rule of Mohammad Zahir Shah, Etemadi remained in the government after the 1973 coup in which a republic was established under the rule of Mohammad Daoud Khan.
Etemadi left Italy and served as ambassador to the Soviet Union until 1976.
In 1979, along with many other officials in the Zahir Shah and Daud Khan governments, including former prime minister Mohammad Musa Shafiq, Etemadi was executed.
