Over the past three decades, bilateral relations have successfully developed in the spirit of friendship, trust and mutual respect.

A solid legal framework has been formed, which includes key areas of cooperation in the political, trade, economic, cultural and humanitarian spheres.

Successful cooperation in the trade and economic dimension is carried out within the framework of the Intergovernmental Commission on Economic, Scientific and Technical Cooperation. A vivid evidence of mutually beneficial partnership in terms of investments is the activity in Romania of Kazakhstan's largest foreign asset – the company "KazMunayGas International".

Both sides seek to increase and deepen trade, economic and investment engagement. Efforts of the parties are aimed at expanding the commodity structure of mutual trade. Priority is given to cooperation in the fields of energy, agriculture, information technology and tourism.

The parties intend to further develop cultural and humanitarian cooperation. In this context, the parties note with satisfaction the achieved high level of mutual understanding and interaction within the framework of the popularization of cultural values between the two peoples. In particular, the squares "Kazakhstan" and "Bucharest" were opened, as well as monuments of the great poets Abai and Mihai Eminescu.
