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. 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.
In 2020, the value of trade between the two countries reached US$1.5 billion. Indonesian exports to Egypt include crude palm oil, coffee, tea, textiles and electronic devices among other things.

Egypt's exports to Indonesia, on the other hand, have reached $94.4 million in 2013 and included minerals, cement and fruits among others.
