NEW YORK: Malaysia wants the veto power at the United Nations (UN) Security Council to be abolished, consistent with the principle of one country, one vote, says Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

The Prime Minister said the conflict and crises plaguing the world today, including in Ukraine, Palestine and Myanmar cannot be resolved due to flaws in the global governance system and the United Nations itself.
