US Ambassador Nikki Haley: India can keep an eye on Pak for US

Nikki Haley, the US Ambassador to the UN said that India can not only help in developing Afghanistan but also can keep an eye on the activities of Pakistan for US.

The United States Ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley said India was a strong pillar of US President Donald Trump’s strategy to fight terrorism in South Asia and Afghanistan.

“America's overriding interest in Afghanistan and throughout South Asia are to eliminate terrorist safe havens that threaten us. And to keep nuclear weapons out of the hands of terrorists, we will use all the elements of our national power economic diplomatic and military to pursue these goals,”she said.

“Critically we will look to our economic and security partnerships with India,” she added.

“Pakistan has been a partner to the United States at times. We value and respect that. But, we cannot tolerate this government or any other government giving safe haven to terrorists who target Americans. This new approach will require understanding and restraint from both Pakistan and India,” she said.
