Hanzhou, Shu: Chancellor Xuan Shuren and Foreign Affairs Minister Mao Zhihao have welcomed thousands of scientists and industry leaders to Hanzhou for the Hazhou Fisheries Convention 4278. The Chancellor and Minister have taken on an almost brotherly relationship with the commencement of this convention, offering food and drinks to foreigners and joking with one another about the poor state of their Luthorian tongue. All of this comes as the Republicans seek to impress the electorate with their first year in office. It took only but a few months for the government to bring scientists and industry executives together within Indrala and get a treaty drafted, something Foreign Affairs minister Mao Zhihao had been dreaming of:

This could not have turned out better. I have always dreamed of hosting a convention like this one. Our government made it a priority to bolster Indrala’s reputation on the international stage and that has been accomplished.

He goes on to talk about the treaty:

This treaty is a necessary one. I’ve heard from so many fishermen in Shu and across Indrala who have concerns with not only the dwindling number of fish in our waters, but the quality of the fish. We listened to voters and now we have drafted an international treaty to help solve the issue. That’s leadership.

Meanwhile Xuan Shuren was outside all day talking to locals and showing foreigners around. He had a few words to say when asked about what the convention means to him:

Isn’t it nice being outside? People go crazy when they spend all their days cooped up in the National Conference. This is where the hard work gets done. I remember Song Yi reminding me to breathe the air and take it all in, because if we do nothing, it will all be gone.

Reporters went on to ask him if his government will be introducing any further measures besides the treaty:

Look around, this place is falling apart! We have so many dedicated fishermen and women, but the infrastructure is just not here. We will invest 10 Billion INS to modernize local fisheries and help the fishing industry recover from years of neglect by previous governments. We will do all this alongside the men and women who work here, because above all we respect private enterprise.

No plans have been revealed as to exactly where the government intends on getting that money from, or how long it is going to take to modernize Hanzhou Harbour. For now, the show must go on.

More to come…
