Rule of Law paramount in handling South China Sea issues, says Najib

KUALA LUMPUR: The rule of law must reign supreme in resolving issues in the South China Sea, said Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

The Prime Minister said he was “concerned and deeply worried” that measures taken by the engaged parties to affirm their declared rights, no matter how small they might be, would only complicate matters and would not be in anyone’s interest in the long run.
