Relations between Danish explorers to [[Java island|Java's]] inhabitants obviously could be traced back to pre-Colonial era in the 17th Century following successive waves of Europeans—the Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch and British—sought to dominate the spice trade at its sources in 'Spice Islands' ([[Maluku Islands|Maluku]]) of Indonesia. Danish merchants also arrived from [[Tranquebar]], in search of pepper, to [[Sultanate of Banten|Bantenese/Bantamese]] land in Java. The Danish extended their commercial activities from their settlement in Tranquebar on the Coromandel Coast to various parts of Indonesia. These relations, to a small extent, came into being through the cooperation and advice of Dutchmen who found the road to Asia barred to their own enterprises because of the [[Dutch East India Company]] monopoly. The Danish merchants asked Banten's rulers permission to settle and trade.

Denmark and Indonesia established diplomatic relations in 1974. Denmark has an embassy in Jakarta,[1] and Indonesia has an embassy in Copenhagen.[2] Bilateral relations are strong,[3] as well as the humanitarian response to the December 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, which claimed the lives of 45 Danes.

History

[edit]

Danish settlers

[edit]

Relations between Danish explorers to Java's inhabitants obviously could be traced back to pre-Colonial era in the 17th century following successive waves of Europeans—the Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch and British—sought to dominate the spice trade at its sources in 'Spice Islands' (Maluku) of Indonesia. Danish merchants also arrived from Tranquebar, in search of pepper, to Bantenese/Bantamese land in Java. The Danish extended their commercial activities from their settlement in Tranquebar on the Coromandel Coast to various parts of Indonesia. These relations, to a small extent, came into being through the cooperation and advice of Dutchmen who found the road to Asia barred to their own enterprises because of the Dutch East India Company monopoly. The Danish merchants asked Banten's rulers permission to settle and trade.

Sultan of Banten's letters to Danish kings

[edit]

In order to extend the trade relation, Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa of Banten sent some official letters to King Frederick III of Denmark and to King Christian V of Denmark. Dated on January 7, 1675, both the Sultan and the Shahbandar of Banten (Western Java) wrote the first letter to King Frederick III of Denmark. The Sultan asked for cannon and powder and mentioned that 176 bahara (a weight) of pepper, for which there had been no room in the Danish ship Færö, were being kept in store.

Another letter from the Sultan of Banten to King Christian V of Denmark is dated February 15, 1675. The Sultan again mentions the 176 baharas of pepper which had been deposited by Captain Adeler with the Banten nobleman, Duke Angabèhi Cakradana of Bantam. Due to massive Dutch traders approaching Java, Dutch conquered Bantam. The Danish no longer had permission to trade in Sunda Kelapa.[5]
