HISTORY
Bilateral relations between Malaysia and Iraq remain warm and cordial since the establishment of diplomatic ties in 1973. The Embassy of Malaysia in Baghdad was temporarily closed in March 2003 due to war in the country.
The reopening and operationalisation of the Embassy of Malaysia in Baghdad, Iraq on 17 November 2023, after a two-decade closure, marked a pivotal moment, signifying a renewed commitment to fortify the bilateral ties between the two states. The Embassy is currently led by Chargé d'affaires a.i.
