New Zealand has maintained a resident High Commissioner in Malaysia since the country's formation in 1963. The High Commissioner to Malaysia is concurrently accredited to Brunei.
As fellow members of the Commonwealth of Nations, diplomatic relations between New Zealand and Malaysia are at governmental level, rather than between Heads of State. Thus, the countries exchange High Commissioners, rather than ambassadors.
