Fitzhugh Condemns Escalation of War, Kundrati InterferenceJanuary 5473
The Kirlawa Foreign Minister, Ciaran Fitzhugh, has issued a statement to the leaders of Beitenyu, Lourenne and Kundrati to express great concern at the increasing conflict. In particular Fitzhugh has singles out the involvement of Kundrati in joining with Lourenne as part of naval movements against Beitenyu.
"We want to re-affirm our great friendship with the people and government of Kundrati, and maintain our gratitude for their part in our liberation from the Junta. However, we ask that all involved in this conflict take a step back. Beitenyu has been using ICBMs, Lourenne is sending fleets westward past Aldegar, and Kundrati has not just allowed that but is joining the Lourenne Navy.
"This risks spreading the threat of war across the globe and into Artania. As a neighbour of Kundrati, we counsel against such dangerous acts - bringing the war to them may have impacts further afield and to Kundrati's region.
"I have discussed our position with Uachtarán Beirne, and he has agreed that we need to maintain the State of Emergency declared by the previous government of Kirlawa."
The unity shown by the KPF and FC on this matter is something for Kirlawa to be proud of, politicians putting aside their differences on policy to show a consistent voice for the nation and promoting peace and stability on Terra.
