The diplomatic relations between Kazakhstan and Japan were established on January 26, 1992. The fundamental thing in these bilateral relations, were the visits of President Nursultan Nazarbayev to Japan on April 6-9, 1994 and December 5-8, 1999. The Joint Statement on Friendship, Partnership and Cooperation was signed during the second visit of the Head of the State. These visits gave a powerful impetus to the development of relations between Kazakhstan and Japan. Throughout the period of development of bilateral relations, it is possible to see the growing interest of Japan in developing relations with Kazakhstan and Central Asia as a whole. We have same positions in matters of international security. The accession of the Republic of Kazakhstan to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and the decision of our state to eliminate nuclear weapons on its territory are welcomed in Japan. An important aspect of the bilateral cooperation is the interaction with international organizations. The inter-parliamentary relations between the two countries are developed along with each other. The year of 2007 was a breakthrough in bilateral economic relations as a result of the enhanced cooperation in the industrial, energy and financial sectors. The relations between Kazakhstan and Japan in the cultural sphere are developed quite well.
