On 4 July 2008, the ALL NATIONS FESTIVAL was held for the ninth time in Berlin and it offered the opportunity for 24 participating Embassies not only to show their premises, but to also present their culture, economy and tourism potentials.

The Embassy of Malaysia participated for the eighth year in a row in the ALL NATIONS FESTIVAL and was proud to present a colourful programme to more than 2,500 visitors on that day.
