A letter would arrive in Carthage. Once opened it would read,

Hakeem Alj'outsi, the personal assistant of the King and Queen who will be representing the King's interests in this meeting, has been sent on behalf of Carthage. We look foward to discussions of a possible treaty and fellow interests.

[Sir Keshav IV]

OOC: Skipping to the meeting

IC: Welcome Mr.Alj'outsi. We are glad to have you visit us. Do you want anything to drink? Or shall we get straight down to business?

[Acca Dacca]

Wine, please, but we dont have to wait. Let us simply start. Carthage has been attempting to establish foreign relations with those who we believe to be world pwoers willing to sign treaties with us. We believe you to be one of them. First we wish to know what is on your upcoming agenda. Are you planning to be in any conflicts soon, changes in government, or anything else drastic?

[Sir Keshav IV]

The President ordered for a glass of wine and a glass of orange soda.

"We don't plan to be in any conflicts yet. We just have some fears as our neighbours in the south seem to be getting very active and well we don't see eye to eye. Apart from that we will never start a conflict. We are rather peaceful. We just had elections last year, one term is for 10 years, so for the next 9 years it'll be hard to see any such drastic changes. Probably drastic change would be opening up our economy completely. Otherwise I see nothing different happening in the PRC. What about yourselves in Carthage?"

[Acca Dacca]

"Uneventful. We simply look foward to growing. What shall you be doing with your economy? We would certainly consider offering our help if it is beneficial to both of our nations."

[Sir Keshav IV]

"We are looking to open up the Tertiary sector of our economy. Sectors such as education,banking,entertainment etc. The government has other interests and as such opening up this sector to foreign investors and promote privatization will give us a little more profit and work. It is part of our new economy plan to shift slowly from a 100% state owned country to a 85% state. This way we can be more free and have more chance for growth."

[Acca Dacca]

Let us be the first to invest as we are looking to be more involved internationally with the market.

[Sir Keshav IV]

"You are welcome to. In other news, our Premier Resigned on health issues so we have a new one in place. With that, what sort of treaty do you have in mind to sign?"

[Acca Dacca]

How about optional defense with an economic clause so that we can conduct joint investments.

You mind if we add an optional aggression clause? I apologize that I didnt mention it before.

[Sir Keshav IV]

"Added seems better to you?"
