History
In August 1966, diplomats from Malaysia and Mexico met in Washington, D.C., United States to discuss the possibility of establishing diplomatic relations. On 27 March 1974 diplomatic relations were formally established between the two nations.[1] In the beginning, neither nation had a resident diplomatic mission. Mexico was accredited to Malaysia from its embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia while Malaysia was accredited to Mexico from its embassy in Washington, D.C. In 1985, Mexico opened an honorary consulate in Kuala Lumpur.[1] In October 1985, after the coronation of King Iskandar of Johor; both nations commenced discussion of opening resident diplomatic missions in each other's capitals, respectively. In October 1991, Mexico opened an embassy in Kuala Lumpur.[1] In 1992, Malaysia opened an embassy in Mexico City.[2]
In September 1991, Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad paid an official visit to Mexico becoming the first Malaysian head-of-state to visit Mexico.
