Indonesia and Norway established diplomatic relations on 25 January 1950. Since then, Indonesia and Norway has been cooperating in areas, such as climate and energy, democracy and human rights, international political issues and trade. Both nations has agreed to establish a strategic partnership against poverty and climate change, and also in promoting democracy and tolerance. Indonesia has an embassy in Oslo, while Norway has an embassy in Jakarta.

There has been an increase of people to people contact between the two nations, as well as the humanitarian response to the December 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, which claimed the lives of 84 Norwegians. In 2013, there was a significant increase of Indonesian tourists visiting Norway, and every year there are more than a thousand Norwegian students that visit Bali to study Balinese culture.
