Malaysia has a high commission in Abuja,^[1] and Nigeria has a high commission in Kuala Lumpur.^[2] Both are the members of D-8 and have been diplomatic friends since early 1965 when the late Alhaji Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, Nigeria's first Prime Minister, became a good friend of one of Malaysia's post-independence leaders, Tunku Abdul Rahman. Their relations are based on economic co-operation.^[3]
