In 2010, Norway and Indonesia marked the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations. After many years of building relations, there is now cooperation in areas such as climate and energy, democracy and human rights, international political issues, and economic trade. To give the collaboration further weight, a joint declaration on entering into a strategic partnership was signed. The partnership is founded on both countries' involvement in the fight against poverty and climate change, as well as on the fact that Indonesia is an important player in the promotion of democracy and tolerance.
