5679: Shar-Mearvi Conference (Xsampa - Tel Bira)

[Elena1012]

Richen Shar, Commissar of Foreign Affairs, Democratic Republic of Xsampa

Certainly. We're aware of the more.. profit oriented direction of the world we inhabit. We may not agree with it, but we can tolerate and respect it's existence. I think our mutual interests can align up, if not in ideals then in preserving indefinite peace. We have interests in Haifbourg. It would mean nothing and cost us more problems if everyone around Haifbourg, and Haifbourg itself hated us and there was chaos. What's good for business, is good for peace. And peace is always good for business, no? 

We have no interest in disrupting trade and energy interests. We recognize the global order, and our spot in it. We're not a rogue state like the Legionnaires in Kundrati who seek to disrupt the world at every opportunity. So, I do believe our mutual interests align. You want prosperity and profit, we want peace and prosperity. I don't see how the two are mutually exclusive. I won't lie. Yes, there will always be disagreements due to ideology and old grudges from the Bargas Chenpo. But I can say with absolute confidence, Xsampa is pragmatic enough to know when to acknowledge the status quo. This would be one of those times. 

As for Wiel, while it is upsetting to see their embrace of liberalism, we must ultimately respect it. And we would certainly look forward to engaging in good faith with them. Just as we both negotiate. 

Stability in the Red Bass benefits us. And the Red Bass being stable benefits all in the Migrants Pass. And a stable Migrants Pass benefits all bankers. Our interests are aligned in the sense that we all benefit, even if we don't agree. Xsampa would be willing to do whatever it takes to ensure that the Red Bass is stable, peaceful and calm. We have no desire to jeopardize or risk the energy and trading sector that all related parties have strong interest in.
