FM Ni Zhihong "deeply disappointed" by Kazulian actions


Foreign Minister Ni

TIAN'AN, Han -- TIAN'AN, Han -- Following a warning from the Kazulian government with regard to a Naval exercise in the North Anatonese Sea two years ago, Foreign Minister Ni Zhihong held a press conference in which she said she was "deeply disappointed" by the Kazulian government.

"It's unfortunate that as relations were continuing to improve between Skalm and Tian'an that the Kazulian government would choose to harbour and protect a tyrannical and despotic regime [referring to Dankuk]," said Ni, "especially one which has been proven to be spying on their own country."

Continuing, Ni said that "the people of Kazulia must recognize the incompetence by which their government has allowed a dangerous regime to spawn on their border, one which has attacked Kazulia and is actively seeking to procure nuclear weapons."

"Kazulia professes to be a great power, and yet their random diplomatic decision-making leaves much to be desired from a nation poised to lead," said Ni, "and it is disappointing that Kazulia seems to be unable to move past their deep-seeded complex with regard to Indrala and our democratic system."

In closing her remarks, Ni said, "as always, the State of Indrala extends its hand of friendship and solidarity to all nations in the world who yearn to live in peace and benefit broadly all of humanity. It's upsetting to see that, perhaps, the Kazulian government does not share those values."

Indrala reaction to the Kazulian statement has been universally negative and melancholic in tone. The large Kunikata diaspora within Indrala maintained very positive views of Kazulia due to their fundamental role in ending the Hulstrian regime which forced them from their homes at the dawn of the century. The diaspora was fundamental in urging Tian'an to resume relations with Skalm. Today however, thousands of Kunikata refugees and their descendants marched in Mudanwan in protest against the Kazulian government.

"We thought that as a nation which stood against tyranny, Kazulia would be a natural partner of Indrala," said 55-year-old Hiromi Takagi, "but now it seems that the Kazulian government doesn't care for the sick and oppressed in Dankuk or anywhere else."
