The Treaty of Recognition and Cooperation between Sanama and the Benacian Union is an international treaty signed between the Sanaman Federation of People's Republics and the Benacian Union. It was signed in Semisa City on 19.VI.1703. The treaty establishes relations within mutually recognized borders, visa-free travel, as well as a guaranteed volume of oil exports to the Benacian Union in exchange for various goods. It replaces the previous treaty between Sanama and the Unified Governorates of Benacia.

The treaty is as of yet unratified by the Benacian Union. The chairpersons of the Foreign Relations Committee in Sanama have a standing delegation to also ratify treaties that do not require legislation.

Following attacks against the interests of the Honourable Company in Cibola by the Sanaman government, the High Presidium of the Benacian Union served fornal notice of its intention to terminate the treaty as of 1706 AN.
