Arguing that post-withdrawal, it is only India which can effectively keep a watchful eye on Afghanistan, Ms. Haley and Mr. Waltz wrote that only New Delhi can keep track of China’s southern flank
America’s former envoy to the U.N. Nikki Haley and a powerful Republican lawmaker, Mike Waltz, have called for an alliance between India and the U.S. that would allow both countries to maintain and expand their global strength amidst China's aggressive postures in the region.
Mr. Waltz is a member on the powerful House Armed Services Committee, and Republican vice chair of the India Caucus.
“As a nuclear power with more than 1 million troops, a growing navy, a top-tier space programme, and a proven history of economic and military cooperation with the United States, India would make a strong ally,” Ms. Haley and Congressman Waltz wrote in the latest issue of the prestigious Foreign Policy magazine.
