5634 Legion/Kalistan Settlement Talks in Skyhold Castle, Constantine, Lagard

[Doc]

Lady Anya Waltrip, Her Imperial Majesty's Foreign Minister, Empire of Ananto and Kalistan

Mr. Lazar,

Her Imperial Majesty Empress Mary I Ananto acknowledges the progress your Government is making in regard to offering a peace overture to your neighbor, the Government she happens to recognize in Etxea. She also appreciates your stated policy of disarmament and divestment of your weapons of mass destruction. She eagerly awaits the full report of an international and independent monitoring group on the status of that divestment. And she also looks forward to the full report from your administration with regard to the extent of your internal policies which have been hinted at with regard to prison statistics, to include those who have died while in custody, forced prison labor, and the methods to which your Administration employed in utilizing those prisoners in medical experimentation, of which she has heard rumors that are considered credible in Kalistan but have not been substantiated by admission by yourself or your administration. She is optimistic that you will engage in this sort of disclosure as an effort perhaps to reform, or at least bring some of these policies into the sunlight for scrutiny.

All told, Her Imperial Majesty is optimistic that your effort is in good faith and she looks forward to watching your progress. She is eager to make the suspension of the trade embargo permanent and lift all sanctions against the Kundrati Legion so we may live at peace in perpetuity.

With regard to recuperating losses, Her Imperial Majesty expresses a bit of confusion. The Empire of Ananto and Kalistan would have preferred that the Kundrati Legion not put a single ruble into building those weapons. Do you, Mr. Lazar, now propose that Kalistan provide economic benefits to your Administration to recuperate the losses of resources that you sunk into the testing and manufacture of those horrific weapons, ones which have been used in our cities and killed our people, and to the degree that we don't even know the full extent of your production and possession of? Perhaps you will either restate your request, or tie a request for a trade deal to something else, because Ananto is not sure that she could ever grant monetary compensation for the destruction of items that your Administration should never have pursued in the first place, and which have been used to kill tens of thousands, including those in our own Cities.

With regard to humanitarian aid, Her Imperial Majesty has expressed a desire to begin shipment of humanitarian aid to the people of the Mainland portions of Kundrati. This would include medicine, food, and other necessaries for human sustainment, as needed. We are concerned about famine and malnutrition of the people of Kundrati, and we would like to help them out. Perhaps Mr. Lazar, you would be willing to suggest a neutral third party who would be willing to administer this aid distribution to your people, who she can trust won't just hand it to the Legion to disburse to their favorites, and who you can trust won't be there simply to spy on behalf of the Empire. She would be happy to work through whomever you trust to fulfill these two conditions and begin shipments of humanitarian aid immediately to help stabilize your country to allow you to continue and deepen your reforms toward peace.

The Empire of Ananto and Kalistan is desirous to end the long standing hostility between our two countries. Her Imperial Majesty notes that she appreciates your willingness to speak with me, and hopes to continue our conversation to iron out these and any other issues that may stand in the way of peace.
