Despite the great distance, there have always been commercial, religious, political and cultural relations between the former Ottoman geography and the Southeast Asian region through the Indian Ocean. Research and studies on these relations and the connections between the two worlds have been increasing in recent times. Of course, the proliferation of our sources of information and the fact that mutual contacts have been realized more than in previous centuries have also contributed to this. The studies carried out so far have revealed the fact that more specific research can be conducted in various fields in the context of Ottoman-Southeast Asian relations by using different sources of information. Existing research on the relations and interactions between these two different Muslim geographies has also been revisited in the light of archival records, newspaper and magazine articles written in Ottoman Turkish from the Ottoman period, and publications have been produced. This book aims to show the current situation and where we stand in the context of Ottoman-Southeast Asian Relations by presenting these studies. It is hoped that this study will guide future studies, encourage young researchers in this field and contribute to the present-day relations between our country and the countries of the region through our ancient past.
