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]

Co-operation

[edit]

In 1990, a guarantee agreement were signed between Denmark and Malaysia.[5] Bilateral co-operation began in 1994, with an environment programme.[6] Later Denmark also cooperated with the private sector. Danish assistance to Malaysia was initiated as part of the Environment and Disaster Relief Facility.[7] An agreement on financial and technical support was signed between the two countries.[8] Both countries work together on the environmental substances.[9][10] In 2008, both countries signed a Clean Development Mechanism agreement.[11]

Economic relations

[edit]

Danish exports to Malaysia, amounted to 792 million DKK in 2008, while Malaysian exports amounted 1,7 million DKK.[12] There is also a Malaysian Danish Business Council.[13]
