Cambodian PM greets Malaysia’s Najib for victory in general election

PHNOM PENH, May 6 — Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on Monday expressed congratulations to Malaysia’s ruling Barisan Nasional Chairman Najib Razak on his party’s victory in the general election on Sunday.

“From here, I’d like to congratulate His Excellency Najib Razak for, once again, winning in the general election and continuing to lead the Malaysian government in the next five years. We will continue to work together,” Hun Sen said during a groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of a road in Kampong Speu province.

Barisan retained power by winning 133 parliamentary seats, a simple majority in the 222-seat lower house of parliament.

Najib took over as Malaysian prime minister in 2009 and was sworn in as the prime minister for a second term Monday afternoon.
