Summary:Egypt was the first country in the world that recognized the independence of Indonesia.

More than that, Egypt is the country where Indonesia children studying since before the 19th century to the present. Historical and emotional Indonesia-Egypt relations should be an important asset for both countries to improve more strategic relations and cooperation, so it becomes more meaningful each other. However, the opposite happened. Indonesia has always looked at the importance of Egypt, but Egypt only one eye sees Indonesia. Unequal, unbalanced and biased relationship reflected from two things, namely the formation of representatives and officials visit the country.   This dissertation research aims to answer the question why the relationship between Indonesia and Egypt from 1950 to 2010 is unequal, unbalanced and biased, and what efforts are offered to improve the relationship between Indonesia and Egypt so that Indonesia has interesting bargaining power, so that Indonesia is considered important by Egypt. Hopefully, this research has benefits for the development of International Relations and Middle East Studies as well as to provide input to the Government of Indonesia in making decision related to foreign policy towards Egypt and generate the basis for the implementation of Indonesia's foreign relations in the future, especially between Indonesia and Egypt.
