Definition
协定 (xiédìng) is a formal, written noun meaning 'agreement' or 'pact', typically between countries or organizations. It is more official than 协议 (xiéyì), which is also formal but broader (any mutual understanding); 条约 (tiáoyuē) is a legally binding 'treaty' between states, stronger than 协定.
