King Salman of Saudi Arabia (centre) arrived in Japan to meet with Emperor Akihito and Prime Minister Shinzo Abe during a four-day stay, the first visit by a Saudi king to Japan in 46 years.

KING Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud’s official visit to the country is enough to dismiss talk of Malaysia being a failed state, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

The premier, in Parliament yesterday, said the Saudi Arabian Ruler had shown his confidence in the Government when he chose Malaysia for his inaugural official visit.
