Agreement Regarding Compensation for the Kubo (Kabaw) Valley (1834), also known as the Kabaw Valley Compensation Agreement, was a historical international agreement, signed on January 25, 1834, at Langthabal, Manipur, between British India, represented by Major F.J. Grant and Captain Robert Boileau Pemberton, and the Kingdom of Manipur. This agreement formed part of the British administration's effort to maintain political relations with the Rajah of Manipur while formalizing territorial arrangements with the Burmese Kingdom. It was signed after the Agreement regarding the Kubo (Kabaw) Valley, 1834, also known as the Kabaw Valley Agreement, was inscribed.[1][2][3]

It followed the formal transfer of territory as per the territorial agreement signed on January 9, 1834.[1][2][3]
