It’s a wrap! As of Tuesday, the Embassy of Denmark in Kuala Lumpur is officially closed, and the responsibility for Denmark’s diplomatic relations with Malaysia will be continued from Jakarta.

In the last update to its Facebook page, the Danish Embassy in Kuala Lumpur took the opportunity to thank each and every person who has been a part of their journey in Malaysia since 1958.

As of 1 June, the Embassy of Denmark in Jakarta will take over the responsibility for Denmark’s diplomatic relations with Malaysia. For years, the Embassy in Jakarta has had a regional outreach and responsibility via the accreditation to the ASEAN cooperation.
