Kundrati's Foreign Minister also responds to Pontesi

[14 December 5578]

---

Another statement announced that Pontesi would be cutting ties with Kundrati and forbidding their companies from working with Kundrati companies. In their statement, they claim that Kundrati's reaction to Beiteynu cutting some ties with Kundrati was the so-called final straw. Thus, the Foreign Minister was asked if he had any reaction, and he certainly had one.

Here is the statement that he provided to our Kasaema Guardian, in full and unedited:

I had no idea Pontesi must dictate what a neutral nation can and cannot do. They forget that they are in a war and that we offered to provide them arms. We never said no, you cannot get our arms; we never made any excuses; it was Pontesi who gave us excuses. We are willing to rent some office space and teach my colleague what a neutral country is and isn't because their education is shockingly tiny - a neutral country does not pick a side, and it is clear that Pontesi wanted us to be on their side from the start. So be it. Unlike them, we are a liberal democracy, and we won't be forcing our companies to leave Pontesi on the threat of being charged with treason.

Kundrati companies have begun to leave Pontesi already, as their Pontesian counterparts have been forced to no longer cooperate with their counterparts in Kundrati. The Kasaema Stock Exchange recorded a small loss when it was announced that Pontesi was cutting ties; however, it quickly recovered once it learned that Aldegar might join the Canrillaise Empire. Banks have begun to ask for repayment of any loans given out to Pontesi or citizens of Pontesi to recover losses.

The Pontesi Embassy in Kundrati, accordingly to the already-announced cutting of ties from Pontesi, will be forced to close, and their ambassador will be kicked out within 12 hours. The Kundrati Ambassador to Pontesi has already returned and will begin their duties as a seasoned member of the Foreign Office advising the Foreign Minister on Majatran affairs.
