Mahulena Kasnarová, Foreign Minister of the Grand Empire of Deltaria

Fellow member states. First of all we welcome everyone here. This organization will hopefully bring security and sanity to Terra in a way other interventionist organizations in the past have not. I therefor also hope that me and my delegation wont start on a bad note if we want to adress a situation that brings us concern and possibly threatens the sovereignty and/or security of neighbouring states. We are talking about the recent nuclear tests of Vanuku and its khaganate. We would like to hear the opinions of others within this organization on this subject. For Deltaria this is a sensitive and painfull issue, especially as the test was conducted in the old crater where thousands of Deltarians died due to a Vanukean nuclear attack centuries ago. We see this as rubbing salt in old wounds and possibly a danger to the sovereignty of Vanuku's neighbours. We will not propose any action and instead want to hear the opinions on the matter from our fellow colleagues.

Salim Pidugu, Foreign Minister of the Vascanian Empire

The Vascanian government is following the situation carefully. Ultimately, we must work positively with the Vanukeans to ensure that the situation remains peaceable. We encourage open and honest dialogue as the remedy for this situation.

[Drax]

Foreign Minister Nessim el-Yamani, Jumhuriat al-Badara

We apologize for addressing this organization prior to actual ratification which is imminent; we echo the sentiments of Foreign Minister Salim Pedugu of the Vascanian empire.

Mahulena Kasnarová, Foreign Minister of the Grand Empire of Deltaria

We thank both representatives for their assurances. Deltaria puts its trust in these assurances and looks forward to future cooperation

Vrikodara Mahalanabis, Foreign Minister of the Greater Malivian Empire:

My country fully agrees with the comments made by the Deltarian Foreign Minister, and also empathises with the pain and insult that Vanuku's actions will have caused to many people.

Malivia has sent out a message to the government of Vanuku by unequivocally condemning its actions in the General Assemby and by imposing a 30% tariff on their goods. We hope that other governments within this organisation, and across Terra, will follow our example.

One option we could consider is to issue a joint statement on the Vanuku situation, on behalf of all of the members of the TASN.

Also, Jakania has previously urged nations to support Vanuku in the contest for Security Council Seat B. Now is surely the time for Jakania to withdraw that support, and possibly for the TASN to collectively endorse a single candidate in that contest, in opposition to Vanuku.

Turning to more mundane, organisational matters, it would perhaps be helpful for the TASN to develop a formal procedure for the admittance of new members to our organisation, and also for their expulsion (although one hopes, of course, that that would never become necessary).

[Rogue]

Libor Hanák, Foreign Minister of the Grand Empire of Deltaria

Deltaria is also curious about this fact. Does Jakania still support Vanuku for the security council position? Despite their nuclear tests?

[Rogue]

Jeroným Holub, Foreign Minister of the Grand Empire of Deltaria

Deltaria would like to announce it sending its Imperial Strike Group, otherwise known as the Nemec-carrier Strike Group, consisting of two cruisers, five destroyers and several other ships on its first mission. This mission is meant to show our allies, including those in TASN, that Deltaria can protect them when necessary. The strike group will traverse Terra for the next year and stop at several locations to ressuply and refuel if necessary all according to previously signed agreements. We wanted to make the TASN members aware of this development and welcome any and all member that wants to join our fleet during their journey near your lands to do so as we see cooperation between us as one of the hallmarks of national sovereignty within the world.
