KPWKM at the beginning of its establishment was known as the Ministry of Women’s Affairs as it was announced by the YAB Prime Minister on 17 January 2001. The functions of the Ministry were subsequently expanded and changed its name to Ministry of Women and Family Development (KPWK) as of February 15, 2001. The establishment of the KPWK is a manifestation of the implementation of national iltizam made during the Fourth World Conference of Women in Beijing in 1995 as contained in the Action Roadmap Document for advancing women to the year 2000 namely:

“The existence of a complete Ministry reflects the high commitment of the Government to enhance the dignity of women in the country.”

In line with the establishment of the KPWK, the Department of Women’s Affairs (HAWA) and the National Population and Family Development Board (LPPKN) were placed under the Ministry. HAWA was subsequently restructured and known as the Women's Development Department (JPW).

On 27 March 2004, the functions of the Ministry of National Unity and Social Development were dissolved and transferred to the KPWK. KPWK has changed its name to the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development (KPWKM). Now, KPWKM is a leading entity in the development and well-being of women, families and social in line with the concept of Malaysia MADANI.

The Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC) is one of the region's largest MICE venues and Malaysia's premier trade and exhibition centre, owned by Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE) and is proudly managed by Qube Integrated Malaysia Sdn Bhd.

Situated within the expansive 75.5-acre KL Metropolis, the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC) stands as a key economic hub and gateway to Southeast Asia, strategically located in Kuala Lumpur's International Trade and Exhibition District.

Spanning 52,000 sqm, MITEC is distinguished by its grand architectural features and world-class facilities, including Malaysia’s largest pillar-less exhibition hall with 12,960 sqm of column-free space, 11 spacious exhibition halls equivalent to eight football fields, a ballroom, mini ballroom, multi-purpose hall, meeting rooms, VIP suites, lounges, offices, boardrooms, a café, outdoor garden, and two amphitheatres. Level 1 exhibition halls boast heavy-duty loading capabilities of up to 50kN/sqm, enabling the display of heavy machinery - a first in the country. Operational efficiency is ensured through 24-hour direct service ramp access to all floors, strategically placed loading bays to reduce congestion, and 15m-long energy-efficient escalators - among Malaysia’s tallest and longest.

Architecturally, MITEC’s dynamic façade symbolises national growth through its fluid, upward-undulating lines and curved metal screen features. The building's round form reflects a rubber seed, representing Malaysia’s historical and ongoing significance as a trading nation, while the intricate Songket-inspired pattern on the façade pays homage to the country’s rich cultural heritage and MITEC’s commitment to redefining the event experience.
