Egypt–Indonesia relations refer to foreign relations between Egypt and Indonesia since 1947.[1] Both are Muslim-majority countries with significant non-Muslim minorities.[2] Both nations are members of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, Non-Aligned Movement, BRICS, the G20 developing nations and Developing 8 Countries.[3]

History

[edit]

Egypt was the first sovereign country to recognise Indonesia's independence; doing so in 22 March 1946, three years before its formal, internationally-recognized independence date.[4][5][6] On 10 June 1947, the two nations signed a Treaty of Friendship and Cordiality, establishing diplomatic ties. In 1949, an Indonesian Representative office was established in Cairo.[4]

In 2020, the value of trade between the two countries reached US$1.5 billion.[7] Indonesian exports to Egypt include crude palm oil, coffee, tea, textiles and electronic devices among other things.[8] In 2014, Indonesia's exports' rate rose by 21.71 percent to a value of $1.34 billion.[9] Egypt's exports to Indonesia, on the other hand, have reached $94.4 million in 2013 and included minerals, cement and fruits among others.[10]

On 17 December 2024, Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto began a working trip to Egypt.[11] He attended the D-8 Summit[12] and held a bilateral meeting with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.[13] He also gave a public lecture at Al-Azhar University in the face of Indonesian students.[14]
