Dorvish in Dovani
July, 4854
Yamabiro, Liore - The Dorvish Foreign Office announced that the Dorvish Foreign Minister and a bevy of delegates returned from a low-key state visit to Liore in June, 4854. The delegation, headed by Foreign Minister Klaus Straussler, included a number of prominent Dorvish trade, defense and business officials. According to a press release by the Foreign Office, the Dorvish delegation signed a number of deals with the Liori government. The Liori delegation was lead by President Thimba Hami, Foreign Minister Chuma Jang and Trade Minister Tendaji Nnamani. The Dorvish delegation arrived at National Airport of Yamabiro aboard a Dorvish Air Force VIP jet and after a receiving ceremony, the two delegations got down to business. In somewhat typical Dorvish fashion the Dorvish announced a multi-billion dollar infrastructure investment deal. This deal is largely focused around bolstering transportation to and from areas that will be important for Dorvish corporations in rare earth mineral exploration. Representatives from the State Railways were also present and announced they would be working with Liori railroad representatives to expand railway transporation.
The chief deal among them was significant rights for Dorvish companies and corporations to explore mountainous areas and known rare earth metal sites to begin mining. Liore, a well known producer of rare earth metals, has given Dorvik a free hand to invest in a number of large swathes of its land to explore and mine rare earth metals. Several Dorvish companies and corporations have announced that they have signed onto the accord governing the rare earth mineral exploration and mining, including All-Dundorfische Bergbau AG, one of the worlds leading rare earth material corporations. The company was founded in the early 19th century and became a world leader in rare earth metals, including being one of the first companies in the world to mine uranium and other special rare earth metals. The accord is estimated to be worth several billion dollars, a boon for both the Dorvish and Liori economies. A spokesman for the Dorvish Trade Commission stated that the investment would work with local companies and labor organizations to ensure the development of Liori workers, engineers and managers. It is likely that the Liori government will declare these areas "Special Economic Zones" to better enhance cooperation between the Dorvish and Liori governments.
Representatives from the Foreign Defense Office of the Supreme General Staff were sighted in the delegation. Deputy Chief of the Foreign Defense Office Major General (Panzer) Johann Pollmächer was the highest ranking official on site. According to sources within the Foreign Defense Office and within the Liori government, a component of the visit included the sale of small arms, munitions and a number of military vehicles. One source stated that the Dorvish government agreed to the sale of a number of small arms, mostly handguns, machine guns and assault rifles to outfit Liori defense units. The source also cited an agreement for a number of utility vehicles and Fennek reconnaissance vehicles, and a handful of older model Puma IFVs. It is unlikely that the Dorvish government will confirm the sale as it generally has avoided public confirmations of such "minor" arms deals with nations.
Dorvish business representatives from across a number of industries were present, perhaps most interestingly enough the Chief Medical Officer of Ebner Pharma AG, a subsidiary of Ebner AG that specializes in pharmaceutical manufacturing. In a somewhat surprise announcement the Dorvish and Liori governments announced the formation of a new conglomerate to develop and produce low-cost pharmaceuticals which will be first marketed to Dovani nations. Lidor Pharmaceutical's, a combination of "Liore Dorvik Pharmaceuticals" will be headed by a number of prominent Dorvish and Liori scientist. Lidor Pharmaceuticals represents a new shift for Dorvish health diplomacy efforts in Dovani and it presents Liore a chance to lead the continent in sharing its impressive knowledge. The marketing of low-cost, high end pharmaceuticals across Dovani will be the first step according to Dr. Fabian Brecher, the Dorvish lead in the joint project. Dr. Brecher noted that a facility had been secured and that within "...a few months time..." the facility would begin manufacturing its first low-cost, high end pharmaceuticals across the nation and within the year would begin deployment across Dovani.
