Sneakyeth Avodi, Head of the Medinat Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Homeland State of BeiteynuMr. Vivaldi-Vandam,
The Homeland agrees with the principles you have outlined; in fact, we will not only pursue neutrality in Seleya but neutrality in general across Terra, excluding 2 specific cases. One with Bannerhafen and the Yishelhafen Pact towards security in the Migrant's Pass and one, we hope, with the United Kingdom.
We will seek to honour and promote the sovereignty, neutrality and self-determination of states, regardless of whether the Homeland chooses to do business or not with a state; as you are aware, Aldegar is currently in the Reshimat Hara and we have no plans of amending our decision.
That, however, means nothing and we intend not to have it influence any of our talks here nor the neutrality path we are both seeking.
Please turn to page 11.

If I may [politely glances at the High Chancellor], this war was first and foremost a cacophony of anything but military conflict. In risking of rushing to point 3 of our agenda, we both witnessed the silence and noise of supposed allegiances and shadowy interests - the blowback of the Kundratijan intervention has been absolutely devastating to not only Beiteynuese, but Majatran relations with central Artania.
So we must look to the future of our peoples, Mr. Vivaldi-Vandam; as there will always be those who will seek power and control, sometimes by taking quick and swift steps based on individual perceptions without international agreement nor consensus; nor common alignment for that matter.
They may speak of miracles but if that miracle is in fact an orange, it does not make it a miracle.
And the United Kingdom and the Yeudi Homeland must always be watchful and weary, and we must be ready to break our combined neutrality to deter those who seek to impose upon the neutrality and right to self-determination of other states.
[turns page, others follow]
Should we come to an agreement, such a document must make it clear that we will stand with you and we will stand together, once again, on a platform of zero interests save but this world's right to determine its own path, and its own merits.
And never again fight each other, but others, when we're asked.
No more Dorviks, Mr. Vivaldi-Vandam.
No more Dorviks.
Remember.
