  Pakistan's permanent envoy to the United Nations, Abdullah Hussain Haroon, on Thursday criticized the US government for ignoring Pakistan's sacrifices in the war against terrorism and described the allegations against the country as 'appalling'.
During his interview to an American media outlet, Haroon credited Pakistan as a 'savior' which pulled the US out from the 'Vietnam war swamp' and vowed that his country would do the same in the ongoing war in Afghanistan.
The envoy said Pakistan had put all out effort in the long war in Afghanistan.
He said Pakistan's role would be vital in restoring peace in Afghanistan as Pakistan's problems would not be resolved until there was stability in the neighboring country.
Haroon reminded that the US and Pakistan enjoyed friendly ties for over 60 years and that it was a Pakistani plane which took former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger to Beijing for opening up of tries with China.
"Pakistan brought US close to China" he remarked.
Haroon blamed former US President Ronald Reagan for 'receiving' the Taiban and the Haqqani network in White House.
He blamed the Afghan leadership for Pakistan's weakened ties with US and Afghanistan.
