Najib: M’sia can help make a better world
WASHINGTON: Malaysia, with its background of multiculturalism and tolerance, can play an effective part in promoting deeper understanding between the Muslim world and the West, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said.
The Prime Minister said Malaysia had the ability to reach out to other nations and communities.
“The world may have its problems but things can be resolved with greater understanding of one another. Malaysia stands ready to play its role to make it a better world,” he told a gathering of Malaysians at the Malaysian Embassy on Tuesday night, organised in conjunction with his visit to Washington.
He arrived here on Tuesday afternoon from New York where he held meetings with US investors and fund managers.
Najib, who is also Finance Minister, reiterated his hope of achieving an economic growth of between 5% and 6% for Malaysia next year.
“There comes a time when you reach a plateau in the economy. So, we need to do something to reach a higher trajectory in terms of our development.”
