Malaysia and Nepal
Malaysia scores 65/100 toward Nepal (friendliness, support), while Nepal scores 55/100 back.
Malaysia toward Nepal
Malaysia demonstrated active diplomatic and humanitarian engagement by securing approval to deploy a SMART (Special Multinational Assistance and Rescue Team) disaster response unit to Nepal and coordinating the safe return of citizens affected by floods. This indicates a posture of friendliness and functional cooperation in crisis management.
Nepal toward Malaysia
The coverage indicates Nepal is aware of Malaysian interests, evidenced by its administrative approval for Malaysia's disaster team deployment, but the relationship appears largely passive and administrative rather than actively warm or deep. The lack of high-level political statements suggests routine diplomatic contact.
