> "commercially negotiated contract" in subsection 3a seems to use another (inferred) meaning of "party" such as a commercial business and not a country. (Text is "a person of another Party".)

It's the same definition. "A person of another Party" is "a person from another country."

And note that because it says 'person' and not 'natural person', it includes corporations.

ie. "Boeing" is the person and "USA" is the Party.
