America’s envoy to the UN Nikki Haley has said that the US will not tolerate Pakistan providing safe havens to terrorists.

In her keynote address to the 20th annual Legislative Conference of the Indian American Friendship Council in Washington, she backed the creation of a strategic alliance with India to fight terrorism and maintain peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region.

Ms Haley, also strongly condemned the terrorist attack in New York that killed eight persons. She said, US recently embarked on a new strategy for combating terrorism in Afghanistan and South Asia.

One of the pillars of that strategy is the development of America’s strategic partnership with India. She underscored the importance of India-US relationship not only in the global fight against terrorism, but also in maintaining peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region.

Noting that the partnership between India and America is strong and it will keep getting stronger, she said, the two countries have a shared vision for global peace, security and prosperity.
