Grand Vizier Abdul-Khaliq entered the Imperial Floor, making his way to the rostrum. On his way to the tribune the Grand Vizier greeted and shaked hands with several members of the Imperial Directorate. It took the Grand Vizier several minutes to reach the rostrum.
The Grand Vizier took the stage and the members of the Imperial Directorate took their seats and the Imperial Floor went silent. Mr. Abdul-Khaliq started his speech;
"Honourable Members of the Imperial Directorate, youre Excellencies, People of the Zardic Republic and yes, friends and allies of the United Badaran Emirates, I would like to start with offering you the traditional Badaran greeting, As-Salāmu `Alaykum. Translated this means "Peace be upon you". Peace, meaning having a relationship that is operating harmoniously and without violent conflict. This has been the case for the relations between youre country, Zardugal, and mine, Al'Badara, for over a century now. This peacefull relationship has provided the opportunity for both our nations to increase trade between our countries and cooperation within both the Axis and the Organization of Majatran States. It is vital that we establish even better relation with eachother in this changing world where political instability, civil unrest and war are almost daily in the news, so we have a better chance to overcome the challenges that await both our nations.
It is my delegations greatest honour to be allowed the privillige of visiting the political hart of, what some call, the "Father of all Republics". In a world where most nations have seen their share of dictators, kings and emperors, youre nation is the only one that has maintained its Republican roots for so long. Even my beloved Al'Badara has fallen several times for people who think they are entitled to rule a nation just because of their descent, because they are of noble, if not godly, birth. Even now the noble houses fight over the controle of a nation, Sekowo, and the nations of Yishelem and Beiteynu and Drania are held hostage by kings and queens who quell every republican movement. But im rambling on.
This visit to youre great nation gives me the opportunity to thank the Zardic government and the Zardic people for the support they gave Al'Badara in one of its biggest crisis, the Selucian-Badaran War. Although technically Selucia and Badara are still at war with eachother, the help provided by the government of Zardugal prevented that the conflict escalated in a full scale war. The actions of youre government prevented an humanitarian catastrophe on this continent and we, Badara, thank you for that'."
Grand Vizier Abdul-Khaliq ends its speech and goes to his seat, accompanied by a standing ovation.
OOC: Darvian, im quite embarres to post this after youre post. Youre a great writer and im not, so my post isnt up to youre standards.
