Besides suggesting a new "Treaty oi friendship”,
the Persian Under Secretary for foreign Affairs in his
conversation with Mr.Seymour on February 4th (P.Z.926/37)
suggested the possibility of a Consular Convention.
Mr.Seymour asked for instructions and we now have
the Foreign Office’s draft reply (I am sorry to have
delayed the file).
The drafts seem satisfactory. Article 9 of une
1857 Treaty prescribes most favoured nation treatment in
regard to the establishment and recognition 0 - consuls.
If a new Treaty of Friendship is concluded it will
supersede the 1857 Treaty. In that case some provision
will have to be incorporated to replace Article 9, quite
apart from any Persian desire for a Consular Convention.
In these circumstances it seems reasonable that an
article on the lines suggested by the Foreign Office
should be put forward. It appears to be a "common form"
article, and it provides for reciprocity in regard to the
grant of official rights, privileges, exemptions, etc., on
which the Government of India are always disposed to
insist (e.g. in such matters as flying flags and customs
exemptions).
It may, however, be desirable to let the Government
of India have the opportunity of making observations
before H.M.Minister takes action.
A. draft d.o. letter to the Foreign Office is
