NEW YORK(TIP): Asserting that she has “no regrets” in her job, US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley said her Indian parents raised her to give her best to whatever job she does.

“No, there is no regrets,” Haley said at a session at the Women In The World summit when asked if she has any regrets in her job.

“I am the daughter of Indian parents where my mom always said, ‘whatever you do, be great at it and make sure people remember you for it’ and so my focus is just to try and do the jobs as best as I can,” she said here.

Haley was speaking yesterday at the ‘Women In The World’ summit, a premier annual gathering of influential women leaders, politicians and activists organized by media personality Tina Brown in association with the New York Times.

Haley speaks proudly about her Indian heritage, often bringing it up during her speeches and interactions. Earlier this week, while addressing reporters at the UN headquarters, Haley brought up her Indian heritage when she asked about her qualities of being able to speak freely and openly.

“Every position that I have ever had, people have assumed that I’m looking towards something bigger when in reality I’m the daughter of Indian parents who said to me ‘whatever you do be great at it and make sure people remember you for it’. That is all I am trying to do. That is all I have ever known how to be is to try and just do my job to the best of my ability and if that comes out blunt and if that comes out strong – I’m one of two brothers and a sister – my parents raised us all to be strong,” she said.

When asked at the women summit if she liked her new job as Washington’s envoy to the world body, she said she does.

“I do like the job because you can move the ball. It’s not just about talking, you can actually negotiate, you can actually change things,” she said.

Haley said she has a “lot of” interaction with President Donald Trump, “I talked to him this morning” adding that she visits Washington at least once a week for the National Security Council meetings.
