The treaty that established the division of territories in Asia between Portugal and Spain is the Treaty of Zaragoza. This treaty was signed in 1529 and effectively extended the boundaries set by the Treaty of Tordesillas, which had initially divided the New World between the two nations in 1494. The Treaty of Zaragoza primarily addressed conflicts over territories in the East Indies, establishing a demarcation line in the Pacific Ocean to minimize disputes over territorial claims.

The Treaty of Tordesillas, although foundational in defining how Spain and Portugal would split the newly discovered lands, primarily focused on the Americas rather than Asia. The Treaty of Lisbon is concerned with issues between Portugal and other European powers, particularly in the context of their colonies and political conflicts in the 17th century. The Treaty of Paris refers to several treaties that ended various conflicts, most notably the one in 1763 that ended the Seven Years' War, and does not focus on the division of Asian territories.
