Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak congratulated his counterpart David Cameron after leading his Conservative Party to a majority win in the United Kingdom (UK) general election.
Najib said, Malaysia too is looking forward to deeper ties and cooperation with the UK.
"Many congrats @David_Cameron. Thanks to your government's leadership, UK-Malaysia relations are excellent. I look forward to deeper ties and cooperation," Najib wrote in his Twitter account today.
London based public-service broadcaster British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) reported that the Conservatives won 330 seats in parliament after 649 of 650 seats declared.
The results give the party an absolute majority to form a government and Cameron has returned to Downing Street as prime minister for a second term in office.
