Diplomatic relations between Malaysia and Indonesia began soon after Malaysia gained its independence from the British on 31 August 1957. Indonesia and Malaysia are two neighboring nations that shared similarities in many aspects. Their national languages are closely related. The majority of the population of both nations were of Austronesian ancestry or of the so-called Malay race. Both nations are Muslim majority countries.

Despite sharing so many similarities, tied by common religion, language, proximity and a cultural heritage that dates back centuries, yet both nations have been lurching from one diplomatic spat to another.
