Foreign Minister Orenthal Williams is all smiles about potential new tri-lateral deal

Selucian Consul Hiroto Yukimura,  Minister of Foreign Affairs Thera Terzi and Minister of Defence Pantea Sacca arrived in Kalistan last month and joined Kalistani-Vanukean talks already underway at the Polytechnic Institute of Kalistan.  The high level offials have been expected for some time.

Foreign Minister Williams issued the following statement upon the arrival of the three high level Selucian officials: 

"Selucia approached Kalistan about a year back about potential trade deals in light of the Selayan Union's Embargo.  They are interested in Kalistani Pharmaceuticals, Oil, steel, and other goods made and provided by our public and private sectors, and we are interested in metals and technology related to the production and sales of consumer goods, as well as a potential for alternative investment and financing.  Additionally, Kalistan is interested in technology transfer.  And Vanuku's goals overlap with Selucia's, so it make sense that we all work these things out and put together a stronger economic partnership between our three nations.

"It also is increasingly likely that our negotiations will include a security component between our three nations which will bring us all great advantage when it comes to aggressive powers in our neighborhood.  We have already began a limited partnership with Vanuku:  Our great weapons of war were made in Vanuku, and we have been working with Vanukese Advisors in a strictly advisory capacity to train our Regulars on how to utilize these weapons efficiently and effectively.  Selucia, for their part have expressed interest in training with Socialist Militia forces in unconventional warfare.  This summit between our three nations provides an excellent opportunity to hammer out the details."

Williams concluded that a comprehensive economic and security treaty is in the drafting.  "We should have it ready with a draft agreement by the beginning of 4413."
