- Title:
- Coll 20/3 'Muscat: Relations with H. M. G.; Commercial Treaty: Renewal'
- Scope & Content:
-
The volume contains letters, telegrams, minutes and draft correspondence relating to the renewal of the Anglo-Muscat Treaty of Friendship, Commerce and Navigation of 1891. The bulk of the papers consists of correspondence connected to the annual renewal of the treaty for the years 1931-38 and the forwarding of copies of the renewal agreement to various offices of the British Government.
The volume also covers the insertion of a clause in the agreement to allow for the Union of South Africa, a British Dominion, to withdraw from the treaty.
From April 1937 much of the correspondence concerns the Sultan's wish to revise the 1891 treaty and the subsequent negotiations. No conclusion of these negotiations is covered by the volume.
The main correspondents are the Political Agent, Muscat, Political Residency in the Persian Gulf, Government of India (Foreign Department), India Office, and Foreign Office. Further correspondence is from the Dominions Office, Colonial Office, and the Sultan of Muscat, Said bin Taimur [Sa‘īd ibn Taymūr Āl Bū Sa‘īd].
