Beiteynu's updated international stances.
On the major additions to the Accord of Partnership, the Minister commented: "The Accord of Partnership was initially intended by the Tzafrir Administration to be a vehicle of extending relations with other nations. It still remains to this day - a tool that has brought Beiteynu closer to other nations, with open travel, limited bureaucratic restrictions on work and education, open trade, investments in the defense and technology industries and so forth. With the recent ratifications by Kundrati, Tukarali and Trigunia, we are now proud to have 11 nations as our close partners. Beiteynu has long entered a period of international influence and gravitas, and the Accord of Partnership is the main KPI to attest to that and the metric we've been monitoring closely. It has provided Beiteynu with an unprecedented growth in recent decades, allowing our citizenry, businesses and institutions to directly tap into international markets".
On the status of the Accord of Diplomacy and Beiteynu's diplomatic outreach across Terra: "Although the bombing of the Beiteynuese embassy in NEK has forced us to take a step back on the situation, regrettably, the recent ratifications from Tukarali and Trigunia - which both I and the Deputy MOFA worked on independently - now count 30 nations that Beiteynu maintains embassies in and relations with. This has never been done in the nation's history, as far as I'm aware. Although it complicates things on more active situations and robust relationships, the Accord of Diplomacy has been the bedrock of Beiteynu's foreign policy for the last 70 years. We will continue to reach out to sovereign governments, which can count on the Beiteynuese Meuhad Medinot to honour it."
On the ongoing situation in New Endralon & Kizenia: "This is not the first time Beiteynu has had to deal with a situation like this in the last 70 years. Malivia - to this day, the civil war in Kundrati, the tensions with Luthori, the Third Solentian Civil War where we were asked to mediate are a few of the most notable events the Beiteynuese government has been directly or indirectly involved. The NEK being a member nation of the Intelligence Pact and the bombing of the Beiteynuese embassy were 2 key ingredients of a situation that we could not just simply disregard and remain mere observers to. It has been a bloodshed over there with the 3 sides. Although the Beiteynuese Agency managed to coordinate some solid intelligence operations - both disruptive and negotiatory in nature - the situation is still fluid, especially considering Trigunia's involvement in pressure and naval force. Beiteynu's 17th North Flotilla is currently assisting the New Endralonian side in pressuring the Kizenian State to a ceasefire, considering we've reached a level of understanding in our negotiations with New Endralon and Kuzaki, the 2 sides more actively engaged on the establishment of a united, pro-Keris confederation and a state structure to be supervised and overseen by the Beiteynuese government, to ensure long-term stability. We remain hopeful that the Kizenian State will join in on the discussions and together with the 3 sides and Trigunia's peacekeeping presence we'll be able to establish a solid administration, open up the local markets and begin repairing the wounds."
On the public feud with North Dovani and the rumours of backlash from Dorvik: "Well, we were quite angered with North Dovani's dual-faced foreign policy. On one hand, they advocate for non military intervention, for example in the ODNS, and agree with Kundrati's stance on non-aggression, on the other hand they were the first and only party in the NEK conflict to jump the gun and randomly provide military support to Kuzaki. It was so evident they were flexing their muscles it hurt our eyes. We advise that North Dovani thinks its foreign policy and their international presence carefully from now on. Mind you, that our partners and allies consulted with us on their relationship with North Dovani and some of its recent international initiatives - like the ODNS - and we gave our thumbs up on the efforts. On the rumours of backlash from Dorvik - I can't comment on that. Relations with Dorvik have always been neutral and I see no evidence against that."
On the recent situation in Dankuk and the backlash against the Agency: "While I can't comment on behalf of the Agency - Beiteynuese side or otherwise - I have to stand Beiteynu's ground and state the obvious: Beiteynu is and shall always remain loyal to its fellow Pact colleagues and to the Agency. The recent disruptions in Dankuk's oil supplies and reserves is but an artefact of the deterioration of an authoritative government that is steadily crumbling down. I should remind you that Beiteynu was the first to attempt to liberate and internationalise Dankuk 70 years ago, but the opposition was silenced and had died down, due to lack of support. They are across the world, after all, and albeit Beiteynu holding considerable soft influence for almost 2 decades, we have not reached that point of non-diplomatic intervention - and Dankuk is quite isolationist and reliant on Dovani trade, which Beiteynu's network does not have access to. The new relations with Trigunia however and the expansion of the Agency's intelligence network have allowed us to rekindle our efforts in support of the liberation movements. We have reached an agreement with the leadership of the government's opposition. However, this is going to be an uphill battle that will either result in total chaos or a mutual step down of both sides. So far, Dankuk's government has been accusatory and resistant. The latest intelligence we've received from Dankuk is worrisome - they've started to crack down on opposition heavily. So, it seems, we have a troublesome situation on our hands. And Trigunia nor the Pact can just go in and steamroll the situation - it's costly, prohibitive and will become quickly unbearable for both Trigunia and the Pact".
On the relations with Trigunia and its entry to the Intelligence Pact: "Exciting times. Trigunia's entry to the alliance has allowed the Pact to secure a solid foothold in the northern seas, especially in Keris and Makon, working in conjunction with Seleyan and Artanian presence. This has enabled the Pact to become more influential in its remediation efforts, especially with the ongoing situations in NEK and Dankuk, which threaten regional stability, severely".
