WASHINGTON: President Barack Obama has congratulated Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak for initiating legislation against those involved in proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
A statement issued by the White House after Monday’s bilateral meeting noted that Najib shared the US concern about the destabilising effects caused by the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
“The President congratulated Najib for recent action on the Strategic Trade Act 2010, which will strengthen the ability of Malaysian authorities to take action against individuals and entities engaged in proliferation,” said the statement.
Both leaders, it said, also agreed to work together to further strengthen the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and to achieve a successful NPT Review Conference next month.
