After diplomatic relations were established between the two countries in 1968, a High Commission office was opened in Kuala Lumpur in 2006.[2]

It was previously known as the Embassy of the Maldives in Malaysia (Dhivehi: މެލޭޝިއާގައި ހުންނަ ދިވެހިރާއްޖޭގެ އެމްބަސީ, Malay: Kedutaan Besar Maldives di Malaysia / Kedutaan Maldives di Malaysia) from October 2016, when the Maldives left the Commonwealth,[3] until February 2020.[4]
