5634 Legion/Kalistan Settlement Talks in Skyhold Castle, Constantine, Lagard

[Doc]

Lady Anya Waltrip, Her Imperial Majesty's Foreign Minister, Empire of Ananto and Kalistan

Mr. Lazar, as we mentioned, the 1 Bn figure is the opening amount to get it started.  We would be happy to continue to contribute to that fund for as long as you would need to get through the situation to a more sustainable place, but sustainability must be the goal.  Her Imperial Majesty is emphatic that she, and I am sure you as well, does not wish to establish a regime whereby the Kundrati Mainland is in any way dependent or beholden to the Empire of Ananto or Kalistan for anything.  She does not intend to be a patron of your Administration, only a partner in the health and well being of your people.

Her Imperial Majesty will stand by for your Administration to bring another partner on board for the administration of this program, and then we will make our own arrangements to open the valve for aid.

Other further arrangements will evolve organically assuming this becomes our trajectory.  For now, let us continue along the path we are treading, tentatively for now, more confidently as we go forward.  Again, we will look for your progress in full disclosure of all the programs we mentioned at the top of this discussion, work on dismantling your WMD program, and work on settlement with your neighbor in Etxea.  We will keep the suspension of all sanctions in place, and look forward to the day when we can call those sanctions "ended" as we did with your former partners in Likatonia.

Her Imperial Majesty wishes for me to express a desire to open a permanent interest section, via third party, in some neutral embassy.  Kalistan doesn't maintain a lot of embassies there, but it should not require some cloak and dagger operation for us to communicate.  Her Imperial Majesty cannot, you understand offer normal diplomatic relationships with your Administration, for obvious reasons.  Perhaps some day following a settlement with Etxea, but not at the moment.  But if you would like to send a formal proposal to Her Imperial Majesty's Government, an interest section may be the way to go.  If you have any thoughts on this matter, she would be open to hearing them."
