EGELION AND DUNDORF HOLD WORKING CONFERENCE ON CLOSER TIES
 
ODERVELD – LEUCHTFEUER
 
Foreign Office, April 29, 5713: The Foreign Office announced today that two officials of the Kingdom of Egelion, Royal Councilors Mondragon and Cascabel serving respectively as Foreign Minister and Economics Minister, are arriving for talks with Federal Chancellor Frieda Gimbel and depending on the subject matter being addressed, Defence Minister Bruno Steigerwald, Foreign Minister Gunther Krancke and Finance Minister Dr. Theodore Engel.
 
At the airport the Royal Councilors will be greeted by Foreign Minister Krancke and escorted by security motorcade to the Presidential Residence where they will be the guests of President Hans Meyer who will host a reception for them to which embassy and ministerial officials are invited.
 
Tomorrow morning the first topic will be facilitating the introduction of culturally significant foodstuffs to each others markets both for retailers and restaurants.  The Importunternehmen Der Bundesrepublik (IdB), our federal import export corporation, could well serve as the intermediary.  Many in the Bundesrepublik have encountered the cuisine of Egelion and are desirous of expanding access thereto.
 
The second topic is the fifteen combat ships of the Meridia Task Force, a gift from the Kingdom of Lourenne during the active period of the Humanitarian Alliance.  The Oberkommando Bundeswehr (OKB) and Oberkommando Marine (OKM) believe the Meridia Task Force would gain invaluable experience by operating as part of an actual active fleet on the high seas, and accordingly wants to explore the possibility of it coming under the command of the naval arm of the Kingdom of Egelion.
 
The final topic will be the general international atmosphere of heightened tension and the likelihood of it increasing.  ODERVELD – LEUCHTFEUER sources in the Foreign Office believe some things that will be discussed are what is the likelihood of armed conflict reaching the Kingdom of Egelion and the Bundesrepublik under existing circumstances, what is the best way to evaluate the belligerence level of nations or combinations of nations seeking influence on the Terran stage, and what if anything can the Kingdom of Egelion and the Bundesrepublik do to reduce tension and belligerence.
 
Further, it is expected both nations would appreciate guarantees that the Soteria technology given to them by the Kingdom of Lourenne would not be further shared in  accordance with the express terms of the gift.
