Bosnia and Herzegovina–Malaysia relations
Bilateral relations
Bosnia and Herzegovina–Malaysia relations refers to the foreign relations between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Malaysia. Bosnia and Herzegovina has an embassy in Kuala Lumpur,[1][2] and Malaysia has an embassy in Sarajevo.[1][3]
Relations between the two countries are cordial due to both being Muslim majority nations. During the first premiership of Mahathir Mohamad, Malaysia was a strident advocate for the plight of the Muslim Bosniaks in the Bosnian War, helping to send peacekeepers and temporarily resettling Bosnian families in Malaysia.[4] Although the majority have since returned to Bosnia after the war, or migrated elsewhere, a small Bosnian community still remains in Malaysia.[5]
