Former US ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley urged Washington to view India as a “prized free and democratic partner” in countering China, warning that undoing 25 years of progress in ties with New Delhi would amount to a “strategic disaster.” In an opinion piece for Newsweek, Nikki Haley said that the rise of India does not threaten the free world unline, “Communist-controlled China.”
“India must be treated like the prized free and democratic partner that it is–not an adversary like China, which has thus far avoided sanctions for its Russian oil purchases, despite being one of Moscow’s largest customers. If that disparity does not demand a closer look at U.S.-India relations, the realities of hard power should. Scuttling 25 years of momentum with the only country that can serve as a counterweight to Chinese dominance in Asia would be a strategic disaster,” Nikki Haley said in her opinion piece on Newsweek.
“Unlike Communist-controlled China, the rise of a democratic India does not threaten the free world. Partnership between the U.S. and India to counter China should be a no-brainer,” she added.
