Egypt and Indonesia established diplomatic relations in 1947. Both are Muslim-majority countries with significant non-Muslim minorities.[1] Indonesia has an embassy in Cairo and Egypt has an embassy in Jakarta. Both countries are members of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, Non-Aligned Movement, the G20 developing nations and Developing 8 Countries.[2] Egypt was also the first sovereign country to recognise Indonesia's independence; doing so in 1946, three years before its formal, internationally-recognised independence date.[3][4]

In 2020, the value of trade between the two countries reached US$1.5 billion.[5] Indonesian exports to Egypt include crude palm oil, coffee, tea, textiles and electronic devices among other things.[6] In 2014, Indonesia's exports' rate rose by 21.71 percent to a value of $1.34 billion.[7] Egypt's exports to Indonesia, on the other hand, have reached $94.4 million in 2013 and included minerals, cement and fruits among others.[8]
