She went on: "What we are doing in relation to the productive talks that we are holding with the Democratic Unionist Party is ensuring that it is possible to, with their support, give the stability to the UK Government that I think is necessary at this time".
The Conservative Party fell eight seats short of retaining its parliamentary majority, and is now in talks with Northern Ireland's ultra-conservative Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) - which won 10 seats - to forge an informal alliance.
Conservative MPs fear that losing a key vote on Brexit would weaken Mrs May's position so much that she could be forced to stand aside, triggering a leadership contest or worse - a second election. It can keep a government up and running but still leads to day-to-day instability as each "normal" vote is held against the backdrop of the governing party being a minority.
But speaking during a visit to Paris to meet French president Emmanuel Macron, Mrs May told reporters: "We as Government remain absolutely steadfast in our commitment to the Belfast Agreement and the subsequent agreements and we continue to work with all the parties in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland in ensuring that we can continue to put in place those measures necessary to fulfil those agreements".
"She said she will serve us as long as we want her".
May is under pressure to take on a more cross-party approach to the negotiations surrounding Brexit.

You'll recall that it was Cleveland that came back from a 3-1 series deficit in last year's finals to stun Golden State. Last year, Green was suspended for Game 5 of the Finals due to accumulating too many flagrant foul points.

The draft law would empower Europe to decide if post-Brexit London has the right to host financial market "clearing houses" that deal in euros, the EU's single currency. The Evening Standard, edited by ex-Treasury chief George Osborne, reported that Cabinet ministers have initiated talks with Labour lawmakers to come up with a "softer", less hard-line divorce from the EU.
MPs who favour a soft Brexit or oppose it altogether, largely comprising those who backed Remain in the European Union referendum, outnumber hard Brexiteers in the House of Commons.
EU Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier has warned London not to waste time, as Brussels waits for embattled British Prime Minister Theresa May to name a date for talks.
"My main concern is the peace process". The Telegraph calculates that although the number of MPs supporting remaining in the European Union or a "soft Brexit" (342) still outnumbers those supporting a "hard Brexit" (297), the margin is far slimmer since the triggering three months ago of the Article 50 legislation to begin the European Union negotiations.
"We haven't negotiated, we haven't progressed".
"It's a unity of objective, having voted to leave the European Union, that their Government gets on with that and makes a success of it, and we are committed to developing a deep and special partnership with the EU".
