Najib: Malaysia’s stand in moderation helped country clinch UN seat


MILAN (Italy): Malaysia won a seat in the United Nations Security Council largely because of the country's stand in moderation and its international relations, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said. 

The Prime Minister, who described the success in securing a seat in the 15-man body as "extremely meaningful", said he believed the international community reacted positively to Malaysia's policies, its responsible approach to issues and principle-based measures.
