It is generally believed that commercial treaties between European and Asian powers prior to the nineteenth century focused on the establishments and privileges of European traders in Asia. However, there are exceptions where establishments of Asian traders in Europe received the same type of benefits as those enjoyed by European traders in Asia. This chapter focuses on one example, a treaty concluded on 7 February 1631 at The Hague between the King of Persia and the States General of the United Provinces of the Netherlands in which the latter, in return for privileges accorded to the Dutch in Persia, conceded reciprocal benefits to Persian traders in the Netherlands. In terms of international law, the treaty secured national treatment to Persians, granting them the same franchises and rights as those enjoyed by the inhabitants of the Netherlands, even by persons of quality in high positions whenever they engaged in trade.
