Nikki Haley’s confirmation hearing for US envoy to United Nations next week Indian-American South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley would appear before a Congressional panel for her confirmation hearing for the post of US Ambassador to the UN on January 18, an official has said. If confirmed, Haley, 44, the daughter of Indian immigrants, would be the first-ever Indian-American to serve on a
Cabinet rank position in any presidential administration in the US. Senator Bob Corker, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said in a statement that the nomination hearing to consider Haley to be US Ambassador to the United Nations will be held on January 18. Haley, who will replace Samantha Power at the UN if confirmed, has already created history by becoming the first women Indian-American Governor of a US State.
