Finance Minister Zhao

Y – 10 AGREEMENT MODIFIED

Tian’an, March 19, 5106: At the request of Minister of Foreign Affairs Tina Donaldson of the Republic of Kalistan, Finance Minister Zhao Hui-Fen has undertaken a review of the provisions governing the successful production of the Y-10 multirole fighter developed by the joint effort of Kalistan and Yingdala.

At some point it appears there was an insertion of the requirement that all munitions and guided weaponry for the Y -10 be exclusively furnished by Yingdala Zhou. Reviewing staff from the Finance Minand secondistry suggested this likely originated as an assigned task of Yingdala in the distribution of tasks in the joint development of the prototype.

Be that as it may, Yingdala Zhou is releasing its claim on exclusive munition and guided weaponry production rights for the Y-10 multirole fighter. The Finance Minister noted, first, that this was a successful joint project which Yingdala Zhou would certainly like to replicate should the opportunity again arise; and, second, that he is advised as a strategic matter it is far better to have more than one source for arming this aircraft should it be involved in serious conflict.

Finance Minister Zhao also indicated he was hopeful that Yingdala Zhou would be able to be visited by a trade delegation from the Republic of Kalistan to discuss steel and trade generally.
