The Arab Republic of Egypt and the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal have established their diplomatic relations since 1957, and Egypt is the only Arab and African country that has a resident representation in Nepal.

The historical relation between the two countries is excellent and friendly as both of them are one of the founders of the Non-Aligned Movement, and they worked together after Bandung Conference, on the basis of mutual concepts, in order to end colonialism, especially in the African continent, and achieve economic justice in the international system and the United Nations.
