Treaty of Jeddah

Treaty of Jeddah

There have been two treaties known as the Treaty of Jedda, after the Saudi Arabian city of Jeddah

1927

The 1927 Treaty of Jeddah established the independence of present Saudi Arabia from protectorate under the United Kingdom. The treaty was signed on May 20, 1927, and recognized the sovereignty of King Abdul Aziz over what was then known as the Kingdom of Hejaz and Nejd; these regions were unified into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932.

2000

The 2000 Treaty of Jeddah resolved a border dispute between Saudi Arabia and Yemen dating back to Saudi boundary claims made in 1934.
