- Italo–Ethiopian Treaty of 1928
The Italo-Ethiopian Treaty of 1928 [Nicolle, David, "The Italian Invasion of Abyssinia 1935-1936", p. 7] , also known as the Italo–Ethiopian Treaty of Friendship, was a treaty signed between the Kingdom of Italy ("Regno d'Italia") and the Ethiopian Empire (Abyssinia) on 2 August 1928.
The treaty declared a 20-year friendship between the two nations and provided a concession to Ethiopia at the Red Sea port of Asseb in the Italian colony of Eritrea. It also called for the two nations to co-operate in building a road between Asseb and Dessie and the treaty stated that the border between Italian Somaliland and Ethiopia was twenty-one leagues parallel to the Benadir coast (approximately 73.5 miles).
Empress Zewditu I ruled Ethiopia as Regent at the time of the treaty. 36-year-old Tafari Makonnen represented the government of Ethiopia. On 2 November 1930, Tafari would be proclaimed Emperor Haile Selassie I.
