MALAYSIA IN THE INTERNATIONAL ARENA
Malaysia often plays an important role internationally by promoting peace,
moderation, justice and safety. Malaysia gained international recognition when it
was appointed as a Non-Permanent Representative of the United Nations Security
Council for 2015-2016. Malaysia has been the Non-Permanent Representative of
the United Nations Security Council three times, i.e. 1965, 1989 to 1990 and 1999 to
2000. This record is a testimony of the high respect accorded to Malaysia. This gives
an opportunity to Malaysia to be directly involved with peace and security efforts
besides presenting values such as moderation that is advocated by the nation.
Malaysia is ranked 18th amongst 140 countries in the World Economic Forum Global
Competitiveness Report 2015-2016, and ninth in the Financial Market Development

enhancing efficiency and competitiveness through the Government Transformation
Programme and the Economic Transformation Programme.”
