Bilateral treaty between the United Kingdom and the government of His Majesty the King of Yemen, presented to Parliament by the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The negotiations between the governments commenced on 29 August 1950 and ended on 12 October 1950. Some of the terms agreed are: the establishment of diplomatic representation according to normal practice, the settling of incidents and disputes with bordering areas of Yemen, the undertaking of appropriate measures to subdue any propaganda against either government, and more. The main text (with ten numbered points) is signed at the end with the initials of ambassador Sir Geoffrey Warren Furlonge, the UKs acting Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the shorter note that follows by "Alkadi" (Qadi) al-Amri, acting Foreign Minister of Yemem. The texts are repeated in Arabic (set in a small Naskh type) before the closing statements.
After taking the crown in 1948 Imam Ahmad opened North Yemen to the rest of the world in the 1950s and entered into treaties with many countries. Great Britain had a large hand in the region at that time, controlling South Yemen as the Aden Protectorate, which makes this treaty one of great importance. Today North and South Yemen form the Republic of Yemen.
In very good condition. With the date "8 AUG 1952" stamped at the head of the title-page.
