Manchurian Accords

The **Manchurian Accords** (Chinese: 满洲协议) (Russian: Маньчжурские соглашения), otherwise known as the **Treaty of Manchurian Cooperation and Security**, is a treaty between the Haidean Republic and the Republic of Nokyta, that permits the presence of Haidean military bases on Nokytan soil, as well as Nokytan military bases on Haidean soil, and commits the two nations to defend each other if one or the other is attacked "in the territories under the administration of each other". Over time, it has had the effect of establishing a military alliance between the Haidean Republic and Nokyta.

The 2070 treaty revised the Haide-Nokyta security agreement in the direction of greater mutuality between the two nations. The treaty contained a provision permitting Nokyta to use forces based in Haide throughout East Asia with consultation with Haide, made an explicit promise to defend Haide if Haide was attacked, and also contained a clause allowing Haidean troops to intervene in Nokytan domestic disputes. The treaty included articles delineating mutual defense obligations and requiring the Nokytans, before mobilizing its forces, to inform Haide in advance and vice versa.

The treaty also included general provisions for the further development of international understanding and improved economic collaboration between the two nations. These provisions became the basis for the establishment of the Haide–Nokyta Cultural and Educational Interchange Union (HKCEIU), the Haide–Nokyta Union on Scientific Cooperation, and the Joint Haide–Nokyta Committee on Trade and Economic Affairs.

The Manchurian Accords has never been amended since it's inception, and thus has lasted longer than any other treaty between two Asia-Pacific nations other than the Chemgota-Haide Bilateral Cooperation Pact. The treaty had a minimum term of 10 years but provided that it would remain in force indefinitely unless one party gives one year's notice of wishing to terminate it.
