intergovernmental
This term is primarily used in formal, diplomatic, and legal registers to describe official cooperation between sovereign states. It carries a connotation of high-level authority and structured bureaucracy, typically appearing in the context of treaties, organizations, or formal accords.
It is distinct from "international," which is a broader term encompassing any activity crossing borders, including private business or cultural exchange. "Intergovernmental" specifically restricts the scope to the official actions and agreements of governments themselves.
