An official has told the Solomon Star newspaper that the commission hadn't met the government's expectations.
It was opened in 2013, under the Gordon Darcy Lilo government, which had developed a "Look North" policy.
Kuala Lumpur was chosen because of its location as a regional hub and importance to the Solomons in terms of trade, investment, tourism and its agricultural involvement, particularly oil palm developments.
