Summary
Agreement
The Government of His Majesty the Emperor of Japan and the Government of the French Republic, animated by the desire to strengthen the amicable relations existing between them, and to remove from those relations all cause of misunderstanding for the future, have decided to conclude the following Arrangement:
“The Governments of Japan and France, being agreed to respect the independence and integrity of China, as well as the principle of equal treatment in that country for the commerce and subjects or citizens of all nations, and having a special interest to have the order and pacific state of things preserved especially in the regions of the Chinese Empire adjacent to the territories where they have the rights of sovereignty, protection or occupation, engage to support each other for assuring the peace and security in those regions, with a view to maintain the respective situation and the territorial rights of the High Contracting Parties in the Continent of Asia.”
In witness whereof, the undersigned: His Excellency Monsieur Kurino, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of His Majesty the Emperor of Japan to the President of the French Republic, and His Excellency Monsieur Stephen Pichon, Senator, Minister of Foreign Affairs, authorized by their respective Governments, have signed this Agreement and have affixed thereto their seals.
