Denmark–Malaysia relations

Denmark–Malaysia relations refers to the current and historical relations between Denmark and Malaysia. Denmark has closed its embassy in Kuala Lumpur,[1] which was opened in 1968, reportedly during lack of reciprocity. Malaysia has never maintained a resident embassy in Denmark, despite considerable bilateral trade relations and substantial development assistance disbursed by Denmark. Malaysia is represented in Denmark, through its embassy in Stockholm, Sweden.[2][3] Diplomatic relations were established in 1963.[4]
