Prime Minister Olivia Hall Wrote:Welcome to the Foreign Office, Mr. Benowitz-Harrington. Once again, it seems that this goddamn family got its way in the Foreign Office, it's sure is pleasing the Leader of the Opposition [Reginald Weston, Earl of Windbury]. The Foreign Secretary will meet you shortly, alongside the rest of the Cabinet.

Quote:We'll look into organising such a meeting, you can contact the Ambassador through your office's secretary if you desire. And yes, the international situation is quite worrying, the West and the Empire are declining, while powers in the East are rising, especially in Xsampa, and it is your job to properly inform the Government on the strategies that we could put in place to craft a better future for our nation.

Quote:There has been, indeed, quite a few right calls from your and the Yeudi diplomats overall. And, Sir, I do not "hate" nor "not like you" as you may think. If that was the case, why would I have spent effort into recruiting you within the Department of Foreign Affairs? Mr. Benowitz, we've recognised your worth as a distingushed scholar alongside other professors from numerous universities and your mission, as of now, is to advice both the Prime Minister's Office and the Foreign Office on the right course of action to acheive Luthori's goals after the Kundrati War.

As we've both remarked and that was the observation of the Foreign Office as well, the West has fallen from its place of prominence in world affairs, and quite fairly, the West fell from its place before the fascist takeover of Kundrati, it only revealed the weaknesses of the Western Hemisphere. 

The Luthorian Empire after the war would need to deal with both foes and allies, the Hutorians in the north, while allied can prove to be independent-looking, far from a bad thing, but can prove to be a thorn in Luthori's side in any capacity. The Kalistanis and Egelians, while they are likely to be rivals in the next few years, as per with the declarations of the Egelian King, the Empire would still need to remain vigilent as to balance our existing, although strained relationship with Altéa and our quasi non-existant relationship with Kaliburg.

Xsampa and Dovani would still need to be worked out. Finally, our relationship to the Commonwealth remains paramount and at the center of our foreign policy. Alongside our commitment to democracy and enlightened ideals.

Apologies for this rant, Mr. Benowitz-Harrington, would you like for some tea before the Emperor and Empress arrive?

And our relationship do not quite matter, sir. As at the end, you will stay, and I will be gone in a matter of years at best, months at worst.

Quote:There is a sentiment prevailing that Luthori has a need for policy of caution, let's take the rise of Pan-Dovanian sentiment within the Eastern Hemisphere, it would foolish for the Empire to come in direct opposition to the sentiment, nor will it be effective. The Empire lacks sufficient diplomatic leverage and influence to make her vision of a divided Dovani possible.

The Foreign Secretary proposed that Luthori's policy in regards to Dovani from now, in light of the developments unfolding in the Eastern Hemisphere should be of an official neutral position on Pan-Dovanianism and maintain cordial relations with Xsampa, who will inexorably become the titan of the East if everything unfolds as it is currently is, while on the same way, empowering states that might be more understanding of Luthori's economic, financial and commercial interests in the Continent.

What is your imput on this, sir?
