Both countries are members of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, Non-Aligned Movement, the G20 developing nations and Developing 8 Countries.[2]

In 2013, the volume of trade between the two countries reached $1.03 billion.[3] Indonesian exports to Egypt include crude palm oil, coffee, tea, textiles and electronic devices among other things.
