Hungarian-Kazakhstan relations

Hungary	Kazakhstan

Hungarian-Kazakhstan relations are the bilateral relations between Hungary and Kazakhstan. Hungary has an embassy in Astana. Kazakhstan has an embassy in Budapest. Diplomatic relations between the countries were established on 2 April 1992.^[1] Due to the shared historical, cultural, and linguistic traits, the country became one of the most important socio-economic partners of Hungary.

History

Hungary recognized the independence of Kazakhstan in 1992.^[2]

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.^[1]
