Foreign Minister Metod Dobrovodský Attends Summit in place of Manosindus Von Thaller

While for years, Manosindus Von Thaller has appeared to be strong and unrelenting, his old age of 87 seems to be catching up with him. He will not be attending the summit and has sent the Foreign Minister Metod Dobrovodský with some notes to negotiate on his behalf.

Instead, the Vanukean delegation will be led by Baron Jebr Zhtál, the country's Foreign Minister and son of Duke Kspar.

Baron Jebr Ksparsrmko Zhtál, Vanuku's Minister of Foreign Affairs.

I thank our hosts for providing the opportunity to talk through the current situations, namely the ongoing territorial issues in The Great Jelbek Confederation (Jelbania) and the actions of the regime in Barmenistan.

Without further preamble, I should like to start by talking about the current situation in Jelbania and by summarising the position there as we see it:

Of the five provinces in that country, the northern and northwestern states (known collectively as the Jelbek Khaganate) fall under the economic influence of Vanuku as per the still binding Rklemjistad Agreement.

The most southern province (the Southern Khanate) falls under the economic sway of the Deltaria Realm, as per the above agreement, but for several decades has operated as a de facto socialist republic and puppet state of Deltaria.

The south-western province, known as the Confederal Tribal Areas, loosely falls under the remit of the Central Confederal Government of Jelbania although a series of petty warlord holds sway on the ground. Vanuku guarantees this territory's independence and until recently stationed troops there.

The eastern province, known as the Free Republic of Jelbania, comes under the direct control of the confederal government and, again, until recently Vanuku stationed security forces there.

Our main issue is that the establishment of the communist puppet state in what was the Southern Khanate is a violation of the Rklemjistad Treaty as this political entity oversteps the boundaries of simply "economic influence". It was also established without the express permission of the central authorities in Jelbania and against the wishes of the third treaty signatory i.e. Vanuku.

Under the terms of the treaty, if the agreement is violated, both Vanuku and Deltaria have the right of intervention military or otherwise. We believe, therefore, Vanuku is compelled to station troops in Jelbania until this treaty violation has been overturned and the security threat alleviated.

Therefore, we ask what concessions will Deltaria make and what would it ask in return?

Metod Dobrovodský, Deltarian Minister for Foreign Affairs

We thank the Vanukean Delegation for coming to Baofluz for a historic discussion on Majatran Affairs. We would simply like to propose that both sides hand over their respective regions to the authority of the central Government. That would mean that Deltaria would withdraw its control over the Communist State in the South and allow the central Jelbanian Government the discretion to set up governance of the territory as it sees fit and Vanuku would renounce its hold over the Northern and Northwestern regions of Jelbania, allowing the central government the discretion to govern that territory as it sees fit. Both of our nations do indeed have significant economic concessions and ties in these states and I would propose that so long as the investments and economic ties remain unhindered, there is no reason for our troops to be stationed there or for us to have any additionak authority over sovereign Jelbanian land. Now if Deltarian or Vanukean assets and economic interests were seized without compensation, it would be a different story however that seems very unlikely.

From the Deltarian Perspective, the zone of control in Southern Jelbania was there to safeguard Deltarian interests and allow for a buffer against aggression from all sorts of Jelbek warlords and others. Given the current situation, neither of these factors apply anymore and we would much rather conduct business and diplomacy with a Sovereign Jelbanian State. The Confederal Government has shown to be a reliable partner and one that poses no significant military threat and so in Deltaria's view, handing over the Southern territories and Vanuku handing over the North and Northwestern Territories would be mutually beneficial.

So in short, the concessions we would ask are that Vanuku would conduct a withdrawal of troops and a relinquishment of its hold over its regions that would basically amount to a reciprocal action of what Deltaria would be conducting.

Baron Jebr Ksparsrmko Zhtál, Vanuku's Minister of Foreign Affairs:

Mr Dobrovodský, from what I understand you are proposing a return to certain parameters of the Rklemjistad Agreement, whereby Jelbania retains sovereignty over its entire territory but Deltaria and Vanuku retains some economic influence over their respective zones. Neither Deltaria and Vanuku station any troops within Jelbania; however, should our economic interests and assets become endangered, due to a rogue regime taking control in Jelbania or other unforeseen circumstances, we would have one another's consent to take such action as is needed, in our respective spheres to restore order.

If this is the case then Vanuku is willing to consent to the terms of withdrawal set out by Deltaria.

We also suggest that both Vanuku and Deltaria guarantee the independence of Jelbania from foreign aggression or military action, although there is special dispensation for appropriate intervention based on our economic spheres being endangered, as we have already discussed.

If you are satisfied with this, then I am happy to look at drafting a treaty based on what has been outlined.

The Government of the Deltarian Realm finds this proposal acceptable. We would be happy to assist in drafting a treaty that clarifies the situation.

Baron Jebr Ksparsrmko Zhtál, Vanuku's Minister of Foreign Affairs:

Following ratification of the Treaty of Baofluz by both the Kingdom of Vanuku and the Deltarian Realm, we have now given the order to withdraw our troops from the northern Jelbek Khaganate in conjunction with Deltarian troops being withdrawn from the Southern Khanate. Sovereignty issues regarding these two territories is now in the hands of the Central Confederal Government in Jelbania while our two nations retain significant economic influence and interests in the respective territories.

We thank our Deltarian counterparts for their co-operation on this matter.
