Diplomatic relations between the two countries date back to 1880. Greece maintains an Embassy, Consular Bureau, Defence Attaché Office and Commercial Affairs Section, Defence Attaché Office, Press Office and Greek National Tourism Office in Bucharest. Romania has an Embassy in Athens and a Consulate General in Thessaloniki.
Political Relations
Greek-Romanian relations are at an excellent level commensurate with the two countries’ being partners and allies in the EU and NATO, respectively. Greece and Romania collaborate closely on the bilateral and European level, as well as in the framework of regional organizations and initiatives, including the South East European Cooperation Process (SEECP), the Regional Cooperation Council (RCC), and the Black Sea Economic Cooperation Organization (BSEC). Trilateral Greek-Bulgarian-Romanian Cooperation is a noteworthy form of cooperation on the regional level.
Greece was among the countries that fervently and substantially supported Romania’s accession to NATO and the EU.
Greece also supports Romania’s application for membership in the Schengen Area.
Cultural Relations and Greek Community
The Greek Romanian community numbers some 10,000, and there are many Greeks working in established Greek enterprises in Romania.
