History

Since the Portuguese came to Malacca in 1511, Portugal had spread its colonies around the region, including Indonesia, searching for pepper and spreading the Roman Catholic religion. The Sundanese Kelapa community initially welcomed them, but later on, it turned out to be a colonialization effort

After Indonesia gained its independence, the two countries began to establish bilateral relations since 1950. The Indonesian first president, Sukarno, had the chance to visit Portugal in 1960. However, the excellent relationship started to break in 1975 due to the East Timor issue.

Twenty-four years later, on 28 December 1999, Indonesia and Portugal had rebuilt their diplomatic relations, just four months after East Timor separated from Indonesia. In May 2012 President Cavaco Silva visited Indonesia, and this was the first visit by a Portuguese president since 1950
