The US Ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, hosted a "Friends of the US" reception Wednesday night, inviting those who had voted against or abstained from voting on a resolution condemning the United States for officially recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

Ambassador Haley expressed appreciation to the 64 countries by reading names of each state that voted against the Resolution, abstained or did not participate at voting.

She also thanked Kosovo for messages and permanent friendship with the U.S., reiterating that they will work hard for Kosovo to become a UN member.
