The treaty was written in English and Hanja,[5] with the final draft being accepted at Chemulpo (present day Incheon) near the Korean capital of Hanseong (now Seoul) in April and May 1884.[6] It was Korea's first treaty with a western nation.[7] After the United States signed the Taft–Katsura agreement, the intervention clause was neglected.
