Summary

Signed in Yedo, on the 18th October, 1869

HIS MAJESTY THE Emperor of Austria, King of Bohemia, Ac., and Apostolic King of Hungary on the one part,

And,

His Majesty the Emperor of Japan on the other part, being desirous to place the relation between the two Empires on a permanent and friendly footing, and to facilitate the Commercial intercourse between their respective subjects, have resolved to enter into a Treaty of Friendship, Commerce and Navigation and have for that purpose appointed as their Plenipotentiaries, that is to say:

His Imperial and Royal Apostolic Majesty:

The Rear Admiral Baron Anthony Petz, Minister Plenipotentiary and Envoy in Extraordinary Mission, Knight of the Military Order of Maria Theresa, &c., &c., &c.

His Majesty the Emperor of Japan:

Sawa Kiyowara no Ason Nobuyoshi, Principal Minister for Foreign Affairs, invested with the second degree of the third rank, and

Terashima Fujiwara no Ason Munenori, Assistant Minister for Foreign Affairs, invested, with the second degree of the fourth rank,

Who, after having communicated to each other their respective full Powers, and found them to be in due and proper form, have agreed upon the following articles:

There shall be perpetual peace and friendship between the high contracting Powers and their respective subjects.

His Imperial and Royal Apostolic Majesty shall have the right to appoint a Diplomatic Agent, a Consul-General, and for every port or town in Japan open to foreign trade, a Consul, Vice-Consul or Consular Agent; these officials shall have the same privileges and rights as those of the most favoured nation.

The Diplomatic Agent appointed by his Imperial and Royal Apostolic Majesty, as well, as the Consul-General, shall have the right to travel freely in any part of the Japanese Empire.

Likewise those Imperial and Royal Consular Officers, who are entrusted with judicial powers, shall have the right, whenever an Austro-Hungarian ship is wrecked, or an attack is made upon the life and property of an Austro-Hungarian Citizen, within the limits of their jurisdiction, to proceed to the spot, in order to collect such evidence as may be necessary.
