Encyclopedic overview
Syed Mohammad Ali Chowdhury Bogra (19 October 1909 – 23 January 1963) was a Pakistani politician and diplomat who served as the third prime minister of Pakistan from 1953 to 1955. He was appointed in this capacity in 1953 until he stepped down in 1955 in favour of his federal finance minister Chaudhri Muhammad Ali.
After his education at the Presidency College at the University of Calcutta, he started his political career on Muslim League's platform and joined the Bengal's provincial cabinet of then-Prime Minister H.

After the independence of Pakistan in 1947, he joined the foreign ministry as a diplomat and briefly tenured as Pakistan's ambassador to Burma (1948), High Commissioner to Canada (1949–1952), twice as ambassador to the United States, and as ambassador to Japan (1959–1962).
