Haldor and Yishelem break bread in historic meeting.
April, 5558
Haldor, Greater Kordusia - His Majestic Highness, the King and Kaiser, Franz joined the State Chancellor, the Foreign Minister and a number of other Dorvish functionaries as they traveled to the Beiteynuese capital of Yishelem to meet with their respective counterparts. The meeting, months in the making, is a monumental moment for the international community as the Dorvish and Beiteynuese governments clashed in the middle parts of the 56th century and spawned a divide between once long-term allies Dorvik and Lourenne, the latter breaking bonds with the Dorvish and seeking out new friendship with the Beiteynuese government. The period in which caused a significant upheaval in the international order and led to a Dorvish retreat from world affairs. The meeting, taking place over the first few weeks of April, 5558, seeks to iron out the bad blood between the two nations and declare a new era between them. Political commentators and the press from both sides have eagerly talked about the meeting and while neither nation is perhaps at the zenith it once was, it is nevertheless a meeting between two titans of the so-called "Great Game" that is geopolitics. The recent visit, stirred by the announcement that Lodamun would be deploying forces to Malivia, further complicates that already tense situation in Migrant's Pass; the Dorvish have shown reluctance to ascend to the Joint Artanian-Majatran Security Agreement, commonly known as JAMS. According to the Foreign Office, it is largely due to the implications that would tie the Dorvish to certain security assurances that they cannot provide at this moment.
It is likely that Dorvik will provide some sort of assistance in patrolling Migrant's Pass and ensuring the free flow of commercial and civilian maritime traffic through the area. The State Chancellor noted that he does not believe that Lodamun will be a hindrance and should they become one, a diplomatic solution is certainly possible with the Lodamunese government.
While JAMS and the presence of Lodamun complicates the situation, the Dorvish and Beiteynuese meeting pressed on, the focus on re-developing the once deep trade ties between the two nations was ever present. The Dorvish Trade Commissioner as well the Dorvish Trade Commissioner for Majatra were present and the Dorvish Trade Commissioner for Majatra confirmed that they would be restoring their Majatran-based headquarters in Yishelem as well as another office potentially "elsewhere" in Majatra, likely Wiel should the agreements come to pass. Dorvish stocks jumped on the news of normalizing trade relations between the two nations and Dorvish businesses and investors were eager to sink their teeth into the Majatran market, and the Beiteynuese businesses were likely happy that another market outside of the handful in Artania, were opened to them. The normalization of trade is and was always in the best interest of both economies, especially the people.
While the divorce between Yishelem and Haldor will not be healed overnight, the two parties announced that Beiteynu would be attending a state visit in Haldor in the "near future".
