“The message I want to send is that we will be unyielding in stamping out the terrorist extremism we saw in Mumbai,” Obama said in an interview to ‘Chicago Tribune’.

Stating that he had an ‘unique’ chance to recalibrate America’s ties with the rest of the world, Obama, who will be sworn-in on January 20 as the 44th US President, says that he would travel to the capital of an Islamic nation to make a ‘major speech’.

Obama, 47, who would be the first black-American President in US history, said he plans to give a major address in an Islamic capital as part of his global outreach. He did not identify the country or the city.

“The country must take advantage of a unique chance to recalibrate relations around the globe, through a new diplomacy that emphasises inclusiveness and tolerance as well as an unflinching stand against terrorism,” he said.
