World Trade Centre Kuala Lumpur, formerly known as Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC; Malay: Pusat Dagangan Dunia Putra), is a convention and exhibition centre in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The venue is sprawled over 1.7 million square feet with 235,000 square feet of exhibition space.
It is Malaysia's historical convention centre and the preferred venue for local and international conventions, concerts, weddings, and small events like seminars, trainings and meetings.
Construction commenced in 1981 and was completed in 1984. The building was officially opened on 26 September 1985. Before the PWTC, the area was the venue of the first and subsequent annual UMNO General Assemblies.
This building is also used for the International Quran Recitation Competition every year, since it was moved from Stadium Merdeka in 1985.
