Najib speaks at UN General Assembly of new conflicts and threats to peace and security posed by extremists



Speech by Prime Minister Najib Razak At the General Debate of the 70th session of the United Nations General Assembly New York, 1 October 2015
Mr President,
1.       Congratulations on your appointment as President of the 70th session of the United Nations General Assembly. Your experience and wisdom will be invaluable in guiding us.

2.       This session’s theme – ‘The United Nations at 70: the Road Ahead for Peace, Security and Human Rights' – is timely. For we urgently need to find new approaches, to rise above the political divide and put people first, in an age when the old ways are proving inadequate to the challenges we face today.
