'''Relations between [[Hindia Belanda]] and [[Jeevenaadu]]''' are complex and long, and have existed since at least 500 CE when Jeevenian traders first arrived on the coasts of the {{wp|Nusantara|Nusantaran archipelago}}, in order to trade spices and other resources with various early animistic kingdoms. Relations between the two civilisations grew significantly in the 1300s, a period when most petty Kingdoms in Hindia Belanda had already been almagamated under the thalassocratic Majapahit Empire, whose predominant religions were {{wp|Hinduism}} and {{wp|Buddhism}}. This period also marked the rise of {{wp|Sultanate of Ternate|the Muslim Ternate Sultanate}} in Hindia Belanda and the emergence of a Hindu-Islam architectural fusion in an area known today as [[Trisbal]], a country which neighbours modern day Jeevenaadu. Official diplomatic relations only began in 1820, twenty years after {{wp|Dutch East India Company|VOC-held territories in Hindia Belanda}} were nationalised, becoming a crown colony of the {{wp|Netherlands}}.

Hindia Belanda has an embassy in [[Jeevabaad]], whilst Jeevenaadu has an embassy in [[Jakarta]] and consulates in [[Bandung]] and [[Jayapura]].<ref name="Embassies">[https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=29467682#p29467682 Letter of Credence for the Ambassador of Jeevenaadu to Hindia Belanda], [[Government of Hindia Belanda#Foreign Affairs Ministry|Foreign Affairs Ministry of Hindia Belanda]].</ref>

== History ==
The ties between Hindia Belanda and Jeevenaadu date back to at least 490 CE, when a merchant from XXXXX arrived on the coast of Java and wrote a detailed account of the animistic [[History of Hindia Belanda#Kalinggan Kingdom|Kalinggan Kingdom]]. Historians have come to accept this event as the initial contact between the two civilisations. Formal trade relations would commence about twenty years later, when most kingdoms in Hindia
