Summary/Abstract: The present study aims to highlight the beginning of the Romanian-Swiss diplomatic relations. Nicolae B. Cantacuzino, Secretary General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was appointed as the first Minister Plenipotentiary and Extraordinary Envoy of Romania to Bern, leading the legation between May 1911 and August 1912. If for the Swiss officials the opening of the Romanian legation was an opportunity to relaunch the economic exchanges, for Romania the interest was represented by the opportunity to observe the foreign policy pursued by the neighbors of Switzerland.
