Treaty between Sanama and Suren
The Treaty of Recognition and Cooperation between Sanama and Suren is an international treaty signed between the Sanaman Federation of People's Republics and the Suren Confederacy. Following the Sanaman Civil War Sanama left the Raspur Pact, meaning there was no formal basis for relations between the nations.
The chairpersons of the Foreign Relations Committee in Sanama have a standing delegation to also ratify treaties that do not require legislation. The treaty was endorsed by the 3rd Session of the Majles-e Suren and received the favour of the Shahbanu in the same month as the date of its signing.
