DUNBURG, ODERVELD - Last March, Bundestag approved with a two-thirds majority the ratification of a brand new diplomatic treaty drafted by the Foreign Ministry, the so-called "Dundorf - Aloria Partnership and Friendship Treaty". The Foreign Minister, Dr. Ingrid Hammerschimidt, endorsed the treaty on behalf of the Federal Government, and approval came from 439 members out of 598, securing a decisive majority necessary to formally ratify it, opposed was the SLPD and its 63 members, while the BZD decided to abstain.
The Alorian-Dundorfian treaty follows pretty much the same diplomatic details Dundorf has negotiated with several countries over the course of the past centuries, that are the declaration of friendship existing between Aloria and Dundorf, the introduction of increased commercial ties, removal of 'double-taxation', as well as provisions in the matters of Culture, Education and Travel, particularly making it easier for Alorian and Dundorfian nationals to cross the shared border.
In the past, Dundorfian governments re-launched the country into the global stage after decades of isolationism also thanks to this kind of treaties and economical agreements, which have ensured for our country a strong and more or less stable growth over the past centuries, as well as a network of friendly countries in Artania and elsewhere, thanks to extensive diplomatic work. In particular, most Dundorfians are very proud of the excellent status of the relationship between us and Kundrati, our eastern neighbor, and are also very content of the national status into the Artanian Union, which may return in full operation in the coming months, considered an extremely useful tool to achieve a long-awaited continental economical (and beyond?) cooperation among equals. Dr. Hammerschimidt, while talking about the treaty at the University of Lutzenkamp, also reinforced the notion on Dundorf's foreign policy, which shall remain a pacifist, humanist and internationalist one, alqays up for collaboration with others and that doesn't seek to reach an imperialistic or nationalistic tone.
