Foreign Policy Agenda set: Dovani and Seleyan focus

Foreign minister sets record strait on Egelion deal and Luthorian relations whilst outlining Commonwealth foreign policy

September 5642

Randworth - In a response to an article from the Anatonese Empire the Foreign Minister was asked to comment on the response. The Foreign Ministry released a statement in name of the minister and the Federal Government on the matter, saying that Mordusia stands firmly with Luthori, but is open to work with many nations for a more prosperous and preacefull Terra.
 
In a response from the Anatonese Empire’s Imperial Government the Federal Government kept silent for a month. The government itself seems to have to guess how or if to respond to it. The article came after the Federal Government confirmed the deal with Egelion to give them refueling and docking rights to allow them to aid nations in the region in protecting the trade and anti-piracy actions in the region. The Anatones Empire saw this as abandoning the protection guarantee of Luthori and giving Egelion docking rights. On this the minister was asked to clarify the position and respond to the Anatonese claims, the Ministry stated: ‘’The Luthorian Empire remains our foremost partner in all things, especially security and economically. But to ask them to sail so far from all the time and keep us secure only themselves, that seems a rather foolish policy. We welcome partners in the region to help us but also to cooperate with us. Such as Mordusia’s plan to cooperate more closely in the East with Alduria’’. The statement also explicitly corrected the wrongfully made claims by other nations that the Commonwealth gave rights to Egelion akin to what Lodamun had in the past: ‘’Lodamun had a military base in Mordusia, Egelion does not, they have docking rights. The Commonwealth doesn’t allow foreign bases in Mordusia except to nations that are members of the Commonwealth of Nations, such as Luthori and Hutori if they should ask’’.
 
Later on the Foreign Minister in the Federal Parliament debated with the opposition on this issue and the foreign policy presented in the parliament by the government. Minister Caroline Blackwood said that Mordusia ‘’will seek partners across the world’’ and that the Commonwealth looks forward to ‘’talks with the Anatonese Empire on trade and diplomatic relations’’. The Foreign Minister spoke of the great success the foreign policy of the National-led government has had pointing to the successful visit of Utaristani officials to discuss trade relations which according to the Minister ‘’could have huge benefits to our economy, their minerals will aid in the development of key new industries in our Commonwealth’’. In the foreign policy the Nationals want to focus on increasing trade relations with Dovani nations, Egelion, Hutori and deepening the ties with Alduria. Luthori is mentioned by the minister again as the greatest partner and its number one ally. The Anatonese Empire is mentioned as well, with the government saying that ‘’the Anantonese Empire is both friendly and sometimes hostile towards us. It’s a bit of a mystery what their stance is. We are keen to keep stable and mutually beneficial relationship with them including improved trade. But we will cautiously approach and think on that matter’’.
