The members of the diplomatic or consular mission of one of the Contracting Parties accredited in the territory of the other Contracting Party, who are holders of diplomatic or official/service passports, as well as the members of their families may during the period of their assignment, stay in the territory of the other Contracting Party without a visa or residence permit. Their designations shall be communicated via Notes Verbale to the other Contracting Party prior to their arrival, where possible. 3. Persons referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 will be allowed to enter the territory of the other Contracting Party at any frontier open for international traffic provided that they meet the requirements of laws and regulations in force in that country applying to foreigners with regard to entry. 4. The provisions of this Agreement shall not exempt persons referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 from the obligation to comply with the laws and regulations in force in the territory of the other Contracting Party applying to foreigners with regard to sojourn, settlement, employment and the practice of lucrative business. 5. This Agreement does not affect the rights of competent authorities to refuse permission to enter or stay to persons whose presence in the territory of either Contracting Party is considered undesirable. 6.1. Either Contracting Party may for reasons of public order, security or health, in, whole or in part suspend the implementation of this Agreement. 6.2. Such a suspension shall immediately be notified to the other Contracting Party through diplomatic channels. 7. The Contracting Parties shall convey to each other, through diplomatic channels, specimens of new or modified diplomatic or official/service passports, including the date of their applicability, at least 30 days before their introduction. 8.

This Agreement may be terminated by either of the Contracting Parties on giving thirty days advance notice in writing through diplomatic channels to the other Party.
