February, 5630
Dorvish State Chancellor Magnus Tausche and Foreign Minister Fritz Curschmann welcomed the arrival of Hutorian Prime Minister Michael Kensington to Haldor at Rohr-Maus International Airport. The first state visit of a Hutorian official in several decades, the visit comes at a time when the Dorvish and Hutorians are navigating yet another crisis within the seas that seperate them. The arrival in Haldor, Greater Kordusia was met with the typical Dorvish welcome and the Dorvish did not mince words when they stated that despite tensions in the region, they would not hesitate to welcome back an "ancient ally" with open arms. The three took a trip from Rohr-Mauss International Airport where they stopped to visit a memorial dedicated to the long-standing friendship between the two nations and the soldiers from both Dorvik and Hutori who have sacrificed so much in spirit of cooperation between the two nations. The delegation then arrived at the State Chancellery where several working groups were formed and discussed a number of topics, most notably the formal re-joining of the Hutorian government into the Lievenian Sea Organization so that security cooperation between the two can begin forthwith.
The second working group was dedicated to Dorvish and Hutorian economic cooperation, the Dorvish seeking to re-capture their once considerable holdings in Hutori for oil and natural gas mining, representatives from NordOl and NordOl-Hutori were present as were representatives from the Dorvish Trade Commission. While the Dorvish, eager to recapture dominance in the energy field, discussed natural resources several discussions hinged on benefits for Dorvish and Hutorian companies to do business in each others countries without significant issue. Dorvish markets had already reacted to the new government in Benekial several months prior, the Dorvish consumers and investors seeking the return of a stable economy in the northern hemisphere closer to Dorvik then Egelion and Dolgava. The Dorvish Foreign Minister, who lead the trade delegation and talks in these working groups, noted that they had made significant progress and the Dorvish Trade Commissioner for Makon and Keris was going to be incredibly "busy" over these next few months with these talks.
The Dorvish pledged to restore the "Special Trading Partner" status with Hutori over the coming months as trade seeks to increase. The Dorvish Trade Commission which assigns the status with the approval of the Foreign Office and Ministry of Trade and Industry has assigned this status in recent years to Egelion and Dolgava, providing certain rights and privilege's when it comes to access trade and conducting business within Dorvik.
The Dorvish and Hutorians also created a working group dedicated to restoring military and security cooperation, notably in the field of intelligence sharing. Chief of the Supreme General Staff and Inspector-General of the Armed Forces, Generaloberst (Army) Rayk von Auspitz-Topol was present and noted that the details would be worked out over the coming months as the Hutorian Armed Forces came back into their own.
