Ladies and Gentlemen,
I would like to welcome you to this conference to peacfully resolve the dispute between the Holy Luthori Empire and the Imperial Dominion of Mordusia on the issue of the monarchy. I am honored to have the representatives of both Luthori and Mordusia present, and we also welcome representatives of the Vice-royauté Impérial d'Alduria, the Imperial Crownlands of Greater Hulstria, the Federation of Zardugal, and the Commonwealth of Yishelem and Beiteynu as observers. It is my hope, and the hope of my government and of governments around the world, that the issues that have caused this crisis can be settled peacefully and that both nations can resume a friendship that we will be beneficial to both powers.
I would now like to open up the floor to opening statements by the representatives of the Luthorian Government and of the Mordusian Government, followed by statements from the representatives of Hulstria, Alduria, Zardugal, and Yishelem and Beiteynu. Following that, the floor shall only be open to the appointed representatives of Mordusia, Luthori and Rutania, and we ask all observers to refrain from making any other statements.
Henry Cosgrave, M.P.
Minister of Foreign Affairs
Commonwealth of Rutania
