His Majesty the King of Yugoslavia,
His Majesty the King of Rumania,
His Excellency the President of the Czechoslovak Republic,
Being anxious to maintain and consolidate the peace;
Being determined to strengthen economic relations without distinction with
all States and with the Central European States in particular;
Being concerned for the safeguarding of peace in all circumstances, and to
assure the evolution toward a real stabilization of conditions in Central
Europe and to insure that the common interests of their three countries are
respected;
Determined for this purpose to give to the relations of friendship and
alliance existing betweeen the States of the Little Entente an organic and
stable basis;
Convinced of the necessity of realizing this stability on the one hand by
the complete unification of their general policy and on the other by the
creation of a directing organ of this policy common to the group of the
three States of the Little Entente, and thus forming a higher international
unity that shall be open to other States under conditions to be agreed upon
in each particular case;
Have resolved to establish what follows in the subjoined provisions:
ART. 1. A Permanent Council of the States of the Little Entente, com-
posed of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the three respective countries
and of special delegates appointed for the purpose, shall be constituted as
the directing organ of the common policy of the group of the three States.
The decisions of the Permanent Council shall be unanimous.
ART. 2. The Permanent Council, apart from      its normal intercourse
through diplomatic channels, shall assemble at least three times a year. One
of the obligatory annual meetings shall take place in each of the three States
in turn, and another shall be held at Geneva at the same time as the Assembly
of the League of Nations.
ART. 3. The President of the Permanent Council shall be the Minister of
Foreign Affairs of the State in which the obligatory annual meeting is held.
He shall take the initiative in fixing the date and the place of meeting, in
arranging its agenda and in drawing up the questions to be decided. He
