Ioanna Leontidi, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Kalopia
Quote: Your Excellencies and Honorable Representatives,
I stand before you today as a representative of Kalopia, a nation that despite its long standing commitment to neutrality, finds itself in a world where meaningful diplomatic relations are a bit rare... For years, we have protected our fundamental values, trying to remain neutral in global instability and conflict. However, I must acknowledge that maintaining neutrality is no simple task, especially when it comes to safeguarding our sovereignty.
Terra is in chaos, my fellow representatives and nobody can deny it. Every day we witness the loss of innocent people across many nations, victims of protests, authoritarian regimes, dictatorships, martial law, and policies that harm the people they claim to protect. I will not pretend that my government knows every single detail about the situation in Artania or other conflict zones, as we have deliberately chosen to remain neutral in most circumstances. Yet, recent events in Alaria have forced us to step forward.
Dear representatives, Kalopia is here today with a clear and urgent request: the revival of the World Congress and the Security Council. Our nation has experienced firsthand the consequences of international inaction. Years ago Kalopia suffered an unprecedented genocide as a result of the civil war in Jakania, yet the World Congress remained silent, mostly because it was barely functioning. This cannot continue. We all see it. We participate in this conference with a single purpose, to work toward global peace. As a neutral nation, Kalopia is in a strong position to mediate in red zone regions, where war and conflict have become a daily routine. We believe that neutrality is not a sign of indifference or weakness, but rather a tool for fostering dialogue and preventing further bloodshed in the future.
Your Majesty, I ask for the opportunity, to elaborate further on our position later in this conference and of course to hear what other representatives have to say regarding Kalopia's statement.
Thank you.
