The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Malaysia (馬來西亞外交部), also known as Wisma Putra (威士馬布特拉) after the complex in Putrajaya from which it operates, is the Malaysian government ministry responsible for the formulation, planning, and implementation of Malaysia’s foreign policy, and for managing bilateral, regional, and multilateral relations with foreign countries and international organizations.

The ministry was initially established as the Ministry of External Affairs before being renamed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1966. It has operated from its current premises at No. 1, Jalan Wisma Putra, Precinct 2, Putrajaya since 17 September 2001.

Written by Editors on .

The Mission of the People’s Republic of China to the European Union is China’s principal diplomatic representation to EU institutions. Diplomatic ties were established on May 6, 1975, when European Economic Community Vice-President Christopher Soames and Premier Zhou Enlai (周恩來) agreed to normalize relations; China’s first ambassador to the European Communities presented credentials that September. The mission operates a press office and regularly publishes op-eds and statements in European media. Relations have grown increasingly strained since the European Commission in 2019 formally described China as simultaneously a partner, an economic competitor, and a systemic rival, a characterization the mission has consistently rejected.
