Egelion-Kalistan Diplomatic Conference | 5644

[Doc]

Her Imperial Majesty, Empress Mary I Ananto

We welcome the eloquent words of our Cousin, His Majesty Romulo Rey, on the topic of Peace and the future. As you may know, we are also looking forward to a future of cooperation and security. The Empire of Ananto and Kalistan is, by nature obsessed with those two topics. There are many dangers in the world, not the least of which are certain states whose aim is to disrupt the peace and security we all take for granted in our region for their own benefit. We are lately concluded with the war in Artania, and no sooner are we home than we see tensions flare in the Migrants' Pass. It would seem that some parts of our world are addicted to war, conflict, and division.

By contrast, our region is blessed by peace and security: We have not had a conflict in the Anantonese Basin since well before our Grandmother was born: it has been generations. That security has maintained through diligence and a commitment to that peace, to negotiation, and to understanding between our nations. But even here there are subtle changes which work to make that security a bit more tenuous. We would prefer to recommit with our neighbors and our Cousin to the project of peace and security in our region: As was the expressed position of our Father, so too it is our expressed position to work together with Your Majesty and your Government to undermine the foreign narratives which aim to drive a wedge between us in the maintenance of the tranquility that we both enjoy.

To this end, We welcome a statement from Your Majesty regarding ideas of how we can proceed in our mutual goal of working together and cancelling this external narrative which aims at division of something which so clearly benefits us both.
