The Romanian community in Venezuela is around 10,000 people.[1] They are mostly immigrants who arrived in the country, like many other European nationalities, following the Second World War and the policies of the governments of the Warsaw Pact.[2] Romanians became adjusted to Venezuelan society, because Romanian and Spanish belong to Romance languages, as well as Romanians' Latin identity.[citation needed]

During the Venezuelan refugee crisis, some Venezuelans of Romanian descent migrated to Romania.[3]
