State Council today announced that it seeks to negotiate with the governments of Mina and Utaristan on the topic of oil drilling in the Sea of Carina, a maritime zone believed to hold significant untapped oil reserves, according to the researches and experts. The announcement marks a major step forward in Bianjie's strategy to diversify its energy sources and boost long-term fiscal stability. Secretary-general of the government, Batu Aora spoke about the plans the government has. According to Aora, "there are enough resources and will to do this", as he spoke to the press about the announcement. Tayiji Siyoheri, Minister of Natural Resources, who was also present on the press briefing, told that this plan is a part of the larger vision of the government to create the soveireign wealth fund, which will become the government-owned developement fund to "help local businesses become stronger" amongst the growing competition on the continent.
Foreign minister Tainca Juwete said that Bianjie's ambassadors in the nations on the northern coast of the sea, such as Utaristan and Mina are already working intensively to negotiate the deal and roadmap on the joint operations in the sea. "On one side, we obviously are seeking to begin the oil drilling in the sea as a part of our vision of Bianjie, but we also are certain that the cooperation on this particular issue. could become benefitial for all three of our countries, and we remain open to others to join in, though, obviously, that would require negotiating a new and fair deal of everyone involved", said minister Juwete.
Environmental and legal experts say joint drilling in the Sea of Carina requires a clear framework on maritime boundaries, environmental protection measures, and equitable revenue sharing. When asked about these concerns, Aora assured that the State Council will discuss the matter with the independent consultants to ensure standards are met to prevent any environmental damage. If the plan is successful, it will not only bring new sources of revenue to Bianjie and its future sovereign wealth and development fund, but will also strengthen its diplomatic positions and relations in the region. The government plans to release a more detailed roadmap in the early 5648 after technical teams from the three countries meet for preliminary consultations.
