Summary
Russo-Japanese Convention
The Government of His Majesty the Emperor of Japan and the Government of His Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias desiring to consolidate relations of peace and good neighborhood which have happily been restored between Japan and Russia, and wishing to remove for the future all causes of misunderstanding in the relations of the two empires, have agreed upon the following provisions:
Article I
Each of the High Contracting parties engages to respect the existing territorial integrity of the other, as well as all rights not in conflict with the principle of equal opportunity, accruing to each of the parties from the treaties, conventions and contracts now in force between them and China, copies of which have been reciprocally exchanged between the Contracting Parties, from the treaty signed at Portsmouth on August 23/September 5, 1905, and from the special conventions concluded between Japan and Russia.
Article II
The two High Contracting Parties recognize the independence and territorial integrity of the Chinese Empire and the principle of equal opportunity for the commerce and industry of all nations therein and engage to uphold and support the maintenance of the status quo and respect for this principle by all pacific means at their disposal.
