Termination of DTAA allows either party, after five years, to end the agreement with six months' notice. The DTAA remains in force until terminated; either Contracting Party may, after five years from entry into force, terminate by written notice through diplomatic channels. Termination is effective on the first day of the month after six months from receipt of notice, and all requests received up to the effective date are to be dealt with under the Agreement. The treaty was executed in duplicate in three languages, with the English text prevailing in case of divergence.
