Its counterpart body in Taiwan is the Malaysian Friendship and Trade Centre in Taipei.[4]

History

The office was established in 1974 as the Far East Travel and Trade Centre.[1] Until that year, Taiwan, as the Republic of China, had a Consulate-General in Kuala Lumpur.[5] This had previously been established as a Consulate in 1964, before being upgraded to a Consulate-General five years later.[6]

However, this was closed after Malaysia established full diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China.[7] The office was upgraded in 1988, and renamed the Taipei Economic and Cultural Centre.[2] It adopted its present name in 1992.[1]
