Prenehanje veljavnosti sporazuma ne vpliva na veljavnost ali trajanje katere koli dejavnosti po tem sporazumu, ki ob prenehanju veljavnosti še ni zaključena.

Ta sporazum je bil podpisan v Ljubljani, v petek, 6. februarja 2026, kar ustreza 18. šabanu 1447H, v dveh izvirnikih v slovenskem, arabskem in angleškem jeziku, pri čemer so vsa besedila enako verodostojna. Ob razlikah v razlagi prevlada angleško besedilo.
