A pact is a synonym for a diplomatic agreement.
The Cambridge dictionary defines is simply as[1]:
- "a formal agreement between two people or groups of people"
Official narrative
However, the word has a distinctive usage in Western corporate media and academia. We, the good guys, make agreements, become allies or sign treaties; they, enemy countries, sign pacts.
Compare the very similar:
- The 1938 Munich Agreement with the 1939 Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, which had the formal name the Treaty of Non-Aggression between Germany and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.[2]
- Or the 1949 NATO-alliance with the 1955 Warsaw Pact, which has the formal name the Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance.[3]
