KUALA LUMPUR: Foreign envoys have continued to send congratulatory
messages on Barisan Nasional's victory in the 13th general election
(GE13).
Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, in congratulating Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, said the victory was achieved under his able leadership.
He
also congratulated Najib on his reappointment as the Prime Minister and
noted that the scenario could be construed as a strong backing for the
policies of Barisan.
In a statement issued by the Iranian embassy
here, Ahmadinejad said he was optimistic that bilateral relations under
Najib's leadership and guidance would continue to grow strongly and
“increase by the day, more so than in the past”.
“I pray that
Allah grants Your Excellency and the Government and people of Malaysia
good health, success and prosperity,” he said.
The GE13 on May 5 saw Barisan return to power after winning 133 of the 222 parliamentary seats to form the Federal Government.
Azerbaijan's ambassador-designate Prof Dr Qaley Allahverdiyev said the GE13 was conducted in a democratic and peaceful way.
“Taking
into consideration that there were protests which took place last year
and earlier this year, the recent election and the campaigns were really
good,” he said.
He hoped that Barisan would fulfil all its
promises and that “the people can feel or understand the changes that
they (Barisan) will do for the betterment of the country”.
Ukraine
ambassador Ihor V. Humennyisaid that he was impressed with the GE13,
including the election campaign, which was well organised and conducted
in a peaceful manner.
Malaysians' active involvement in the
election proved that democratic development in the country was getting
stronger and people were more politically conscious, he said in a
statement.
However, he noted that the election results revealed
polarisation of the Malaysian society on ethnic grounds and hoped that
this could be overcome. - Bernama
