Diplomatic relations between the countries were established on 2 April 1992. Kazakhstan regards Hungary as a key trade and economic partner in Central and Eastern Europe. The countries emphasise shared cultural values, linguistic ties and “millennia-old common roots“ as a basis for their close cooperation.
History Hungary recognized the independence of Kazakhstan in 1992.
Kazakhstan opened its first consulate in Karcag in 1998 February. The town is important because it is the center of the region where most descendants of Kuns live, an ethnic group with the closest ties to the Kazakh Kipchaks. The consulate promotes the interest of Kazakhstan, provides administrative services to Kazakh citizens, and cooperates with both the Kazakh embassy and the town of Karcag.
