Vauleo-Buryatia calls Diplomatic summit

[king of cochin]

OOC: No , it is a reference to Furon causing SST to cease its super gun program and barely concealed mutual antagonism.

Mochitsura sent a note to President Trubachev.

The note detailed the following:

I fully believe your speech, that the leader of the nation should be here to represent each respective nation, I must admit that I am merely a Foreign Affairs Minister. Our current leader, Prophet, is within a bunker at a disclosed location. It is unsafe to move him, due to the radiation and fallout caused from the nukings that we have experienced. However, I am able to contact him through this terminal within my briefcase, if anything of grave importance needs him. I apologize if I am not the Leader, but I do hope that we can continue forward with the meeting.

KP Varma, Cochin's Foreign Minister and the Kingdom's representative at this summit asked, " President Trubachev, what is your policy regarding Far East. Tensions are brewing up between Japan and Kamchatka. Vauleo-Buryatia has a very strong presence in the region after all and most of the nations in that region are subject to your Zhukov Doctrine."

The only reasons that tensions continue to rise is the result of SST continuing to attempt to show Furon that it should be the owner of the Japanese home islands. It has been continually expressed by the fact that they mirror their own culture after our culture, and how they built a super cannon off the coast of Furon.

[Amyante]

Amyante found herself listening to the speech with interest, though it did seem to be aimed at the Eurasian and Australian guests -- which she was not -- she still felt there was something to get out of this. Spotting an opening, she approached the Vauleo-Buryatian President.

- "Would you be willing to discuss an exchange of diplomats between Zargathia and Vauleo-Buryatia?"

She heard the Furon representative reply to Varma's question, but chose not to step into the discussion. SST's super gun program was something she decidedly didn't want to be a part of, and given that her own troops were currently cleaning up the radiation levels from Furon's cities it was unlikely that war would be breaking out anytime soon until the population would have gotten a chance to recover.

KP Varma, Cochin's Foreign Minister and the Kingdom's representative at this summit asked, " President Trubachev, what is your policy regarding Far East. Tensions are brewing up between Japan and Kamchatka. Vauleo-Buryatia has a very strong presence in the region after all and most of the nations in that region are subject to your Zhukov Doctrine."

We are pleased that Vaulo-Buryatia is looking for diplomatic recognition with the Asian Community, but we also like to echo Cochin's question, what is your policy regarding the Far East.

OOC: And now that I know that Kamchatka and Japan are at it, I now have to try an RP a truce before crap happens.

"Our policy regarding the Far East is divided into two fundamental sections, the first is our policy regarding the Zhukov Mandate Territories in the Far East and the second is our policy regarding other nations in the Far East. As always, we are open to diplomatic ties with all nations, with a particular stress on diplomatic and economic ties with Asian nations. Our foreign policy is primarily based upon this principle. Regarding the Zhukov Mandate Territories, we shall continue to uphold the terms of the Zhukov Doctrine and we shall not hesitate if called upon to restore order in a Zhukov Mandate Territory.

We do not forsee a similar situation occurring as with Yacrania, with any of the other Zhukov Mandate territories. This also contributes significantly to stability of these Mandate Territories and their governments. It is our hope that this stability can also translate to the Asian region in general. We look upon the recent nuclear attacks on Furon as evidence of the need for our nations to cooperate much more in Asia to ensure that such absolute tragedies do not recur.

I intend to pursue a moderate foreign policy that takes into account each nation's different government structure and will gladly open financial, economic, and other ties between nations. We will also stand firm in our dispute with Slavorussia regarding the Former Yacrania, a Zhukov Mandate Territory occupied by Slavorussian Forces."-President Trubachev

I fully believe your speech, that the leader of the nation should be here to represent each respective nation, I must admit that I am merely a Foreign Affairs Minister. Our current leader, Prophet, is within a bunker at a disclosed location. It is unsafe to move him, due to the radiation and fallout caused from the nukings that we have experienced.

"Understood"-President Trubachev

Amyante found herself listening to the speech with interest, though it did seem to be aimed at the Eurasian and Australian guests -- which she was not -- she still felt there was something to get out of this. Spotting an opening, she approached the Vauleo-Buryatian President.

- "Would you be willing to discuss an exchange of diplomats between Zargathia and Vauleo-Buryatia?"

She heard the Furon representative reply to Varma's question, but chose not to step into the discussion. SST's super gun program was something she decidedly didn't want to be a part of, and given that her own troops were currently cleaning up the radiation levels from Furon's cities it was unlikely that war would be breaking out anytime soon until the population would have gotten a chance to recover.

"Certainly, we welcome the prospect of cementing diplomatic ties between Vauleo-Buryatia and Zargathia. One of the main purposes of this conference is to foster the formation of diplomatic ties between our nations."-Pres Trubachev

[Razgriz 2K9]

Prime minister Reznov asked, "Have you discussed with Slavorussia regarding the former Yacrania? Have you discussed a compromise that both sides can agree to?"

[Amyante]

Amyante hesitated a bit before bringing up an old topic again, one that had been on her mind for a while, had even asked the then-Buryatians about on occasion, but it had been one of those things she really wanted to see completed. The railway connections with the PRC were another such thing, and given that those lines had been approved she felt strengthened in her belief that she could manage to convince the Vauleo-Buryatians as well.

- "Your pardon for bringing this up again... But what of a rail connection between our countries? You have stated before that it was not possible to incorporate the Buryatian railway network into the Inter-Asian Railway Network, but how about a single line heading to a shared station, where our trains would simply not go any further? It feels a bit odd that we are both signatories of the Asian Union, having signed for free trade, yet cannot depend on trains for the transportation of goods, would you not agree?"

She folded her hands in front of her to keep herself from fidgeting as she tried to read the President's expression for a reaction.

[king of cochin]

KP Varma asked yet another question , "What are the possibilities of increased diplomatic relations between Cochin and Vauleo-Buryatia?"

[Imperator Azenquor]

Prime minister Reznov asked, "Have you discussed with Slavorussia regarding the former Yacrania? Have you discussed a compromise that both sides can agree to?"

"Discussions regarding the Former Yacrania that were held with Slavorussia were obstructed by the Slavorussian government's failure to compromise, despite being offered a clear compromise solution. After the Bely Island incident, the government of Slavorussia has declared the matter 'solved', but it is far from resolved. The government of Vauleo-Buryatia is ready and willing to negotiate a solution via diplomatic means, however this compromise offer can not, and will not remain on the table indefinitely. The situation regarding Yacrania is also of particular concern to us due to the presence of Slavorussian occupying forces in the region, and their presence in Asia in general is extremely concerning.

At present we have recalled all Vauleo-Buryatian diplomats to Slavorussia, and expelled their Slavorussian counterparts. "-President Trubachev

She folded her hands in front of her to keep herself from fidgeting as she tried to read the President's expression for a reaction.

"As was stated previously, no external rail links shall be permitted to connect to the Vauleo-Buryatian railway network at any point. We are willing to discuss the possibility of opening up an entirely separate rail link, but we do not see it as a matter of urgency as we feel that the road network is able to handle most of the current transfer of goods. We will concede that, while we do not see the construction of a rail link between our two nations as an urgency, we have not ruled out the idea. We can however begin talks regarding a proposed route and construction costs, as soon as the government of Zargathia wishes to do so."-President Trubachev

[Biohazard]

Mochitsura listened to the other nation heads, before addressing the Vauleo-Buryatian president, taking his time to speak clearly.

"For quite some time, Furion & Vauleo-Buryatian relations haven't been necessarily present. When you called upon us, to aid in a military endeavor, we jumped to help you, as you are one of the most trustworthy nations in Asia - no one can object to this.

Aside from that, we've never established formal relations except for now. Prophet, the leader of Furon, is wondering what sort of relations that Vauleo-Buryatia would be willing to pursue, and possible treaty options, if any," said Mochitsura.

[Amyante]

"A separate line has indeed been my intention. While the roads are currently capable of handling trade between our countries, a railway line, separate or not, would be able to support an eventual increase in trade without the risk of putting too much strain on our current road network. An interstate system has been in the works, but regrettably we are still far from implementing such a feature, hence Zargathia's strong wish to have a failsafe in place."

"As for a proposed route and costs, that would of course depend on where it would be most convenient for you for this separate line to connect to. Perhaps we could cross the borders at Heihe, in Heilongjiang? A second -- or perhaps same -- line to the former Vaulian capital would also be a good option, if you are interested."

"But would removing diplomats be counterproductive? It just serves to make things worse." -PM Reznov.

OOC: I rather do it how you do it now, makes it easier.

Furon would like to inquire about Vauleo-Buryatia's views on Cochin's attempt to force a policy upon us, as seen here.

"That is one of the reasons that this meeting was called, we wish to formally allow diplomatic ties between Vauleo-Buryatia and Furon to catch up to the existing ties of friendship and cooperation. It is our hope that by the end of this conference there will be a signed agreement and an Ambassador exchange between our nations."-Pres Trubachev

"But would removing diplomats be counterproductive? It just serves to make things worse." -PM Reznov.

"If the Slavorussian government wishes to hold a dialogue, then they must contact our government directly. The removal of our diplomats and the expulsion of theirs sends a clear message of our strong disapproval of their actions in the Former Yacrania. We are prepared to restore diplomatic ties contingent upon the Slavorussian government changing its position regarding the Former Yacrania."-Pres. Trubachev

"Certainly. We feel that this conference provides such an opportunity."-Pres Trubachev

Furon would like to inquire about Vauleo-Buryatia's views on Cochin's attempt to force a policy upon us, as seen here.

"Firstly, we do not recognize the legitimacy of the World Congress, or any of its Judicial branches and organizations. Should the policy, as suggested in that statement be employed to force a sovereign nation to disarm its military due to the findings of a so-called International Court that has no jurisdiction whatsoever regarding Furon, or any other non-member nation. Should such an action to forcibly disarm a sovereign nation be undertaken, there shall be very serious consequences for both Asia and the entire world.

While action should be taken against the person or persons who launched nuclear attacks on several nations, and any one who attacked Mandalore without cause, we oppose the proposal, as put forward by the Kingdom of Cochin."-President Trubachev

KP Varma asked yet another question , "What are the possibilities of increased diplomatic relations between Cochin and Vauleo-Buryatia?"

"We fully intend to establish formal diplomatic ties between our nation and Cochin, and should make preparations to exchange diplomats once it is possible to do so."-Pres. Trubachev

Mochitsura bowed his head in deep respect. "We thank the Vauleo-Buryatians for being a sane voice within the proverbial torrent of insanity.

Furon will be glad to open up an embassy within Vauleo-Buryatia, and await the time for when our own home islands are safe enough to allow an embassy to be opened for VB. In addition to that, if and hopefully when we do have talks, I would like to be present to help formalize things - It is my job after all," said Mochitsura, grinning.

"We thank Vauleo Buryatia for that reply. We shall then commence procedures on our end to start the diplomatic processes. May we sign an agreement regarding this at the end of this summit?"

"While we respect Vauleo-Buryatia's objections regarding our proposal, we would like to know what Vauleo-Buryatia would do against the entity that attacked Mandalore? Would it acknowledge the investigative findings as it stand or would Vauleo- Buryatia launch a fresh investigation? And would Vauleo-Buryatia assume responsibility for bringing to justice the entity responsible for the Mandalore bombing?

One is not identified for what one stands against, but what one stands for."

[Sir Keshav IV]

"We are interested in opening ties with Vauleo-Buryatia once this conference is over."

"The point remains that we do not recognize the legitimacy of the organization that has found Furon guilty. It is in that vein that we will oppose a move to punish Furon, or any other nation, as a sole result of the findings of that particular organization. The situation in Mandalore was unfortunate, but also as unfortunate was the callous nuclear attacks against several civilian targets in Furon. We should hope that if the so called Judiciary of the World Congress has any commitment to true justice whatsoever, that it would investigate the nuclear attacks on Furon with exactly the gusto that they have investigated the attacks on Mandalore.

Regardless of the outcome of any such investigation, it is a deep violation of any nation's sovereignty to force them to disarm, there are several other options to hold persons accountable. The very fact that this demilitarization was proposed shows the danger when certain organizations seem to forget where their jurisdiction ends."-Pres. Trubachev

This particular finding is the result of analysis of collective intelligence data from many nations of the world. And if Vauleo-Buryatia would choose to look they would find out that the nuclear attack on Furon has indeed merited greater concentration of investigation than the acts committed by Furon itself.

The demilitarization was not proposed by the investigative body. The demilitarization was proposed by the Kingdom of Cochin as a measure to retain a measure of international responsibility among world nations. Kingdom of Cochin is not a member of this World Congress, however we had cooperated with this investigation.

Before Vauleo-Buryatia condemns the investigation or us, the Kingdom of Cochin to propose such a seemingly drastic measure, we request to analyze the events and statements as has already been made rather than a prejudiced view of the discussion itself.

OOC: What I mean, go and read my proposal rather than just going by hearsay about it.

OOC: I've already read your proposal

"I stated clearly that I oppose the very fact that a suggestion to disarm Furon was even tabled, regardless of who suggested it. Were that the actual position of the World Congress' Judiciary, then we would have expressed a much more vigorous opposition. I am aware that the demilitarization was not suggested by the investigative arm of the World Congress, I merely stated that the very fact that it was suggested suggests clearly the belief that this so-called Judiciary body has clearly exceeded it's jurisdiction.

We have, as always maintained the position that we do not recognize the jurisdiction of the World Congress' Judiciary arm over any individual or nation who is not a member of the World Congress. As such, we do not recognize the impartiality of any investigations undertaken by this organization, and we do not recognize this organization as having the right to enforce any form of punishment or sentence on any one who is not a member of the World Congress. That was our position before this incident, it is our position now, and it will continue to be our position in the future.

Whatever the conclusion of the World Congress' Judiciary arm, if it involves a nation who isn't a member of the World Congress, then, as far as the government of Vauleo-Buryatia is concerned, their rulings aren't worth the paper they print them on."-President Trubachev

"My opinion of Vauleo-Buryatia just increased by a hundred percent," King James said. "I have a few questions for Mr. Trubachev. Firstly, what is your opinion on the recent nuclear strike on Tbilisi? Second, why is it we've been neighbors for so long, but this is the first time we've actually met?" He chuckled at the end.

"I believe that the nuclear strike on Tbilisi, like that of the attacks on Furon were an extremely cowardly and reprehensible act for which there can be no explanation or justification. Should you require assistance, we would gladly dispatch a Radiation Cleanup team, however I will admit that we don't have much experience in that area.

Before now, our government was semi-isolationist, feeling that it would not be in our interest to open diplomatic ties with nations to our west. My government has no such position. It is why we have called this meeting. In this day and age of communication, trade and cooperation it is not wise to pursue a policy of complete isolationism. Isolationism may keep your enemies out, but it also keeps your allies out as well. This is why my government has implemented the most drastic overhaul in Vauleo-Buryatian foreign policy in recent times."-President Trubachev

OOC: Just bumping my last reply in case it was overlooked...

OOC: Oops, sorry about that

IC:

"The problem with a separate line has been that the existing railway network covers much of the area in Vauleo-Buryatia that can be used for railways, it is therefore extremely difficult to lay a railway line from Zargathia to Vauleo-Buryatia that does not cross any of the existing lines. Our existing railway network is a highly woven network of rail and maglev tracks covering the vast majority of the east of the country.

While the railway network in the Vaule region is complex, it would be possible to accommodate one or two rail links heading from the border to the outskirts of the Former Vaulian Regional Capital Sygh-Varthys. Understandably, for security and transit reasons, the line would not be able to enter Sygh-Varthys itself.

If the Zargathian government would be in favor of such a proposal, then we would be as well."-President Trubachev
