ARCHIVE: Gent says Dorvik, Luthori producing an healthy relationship: "beneficial" for continent.
February 5676

In terms of "great relationships", it would be even ludicrous to think that Luthori and Dorvik even shared one in the first place. Both states remained bitter rivals for the most part of their millenium-long relationship, and remain today, rivals in some ways, even with them engaging in a process of "rebuilding" in their bilateral relationship. Both Luthori's and Dorvik's foreign ministries remains suspicious of one another, traditionally used in watching both moves' in a suspicious manner. Enlighten by this context, both government engaged in a medium-term relations restoration process, through the development of trade and economic initiatives in both nations. Akin to Luthori's "break the ice" in relations with the Dundorfians, numerous specialists and geopoliticians agrees that this move enters into a wider strategy and rethinking of Luthorian foreign policy going forward.

According to the Foreign Office, the Dorvish-Luthorian relationship, restarted under the last term under strict guidelines for economic cooperation proves itself to be "beneficial" for the continent at large. He stated that "amid a distrustful environment in eastern Artania, it's prove to be an important step towards peace and common prosperity if old grudges were sidelined in favour of a new, better and equal relationship.", as of now, Dorvish-Luthorian trade has restarted, with Luthorian exports towards the nation gradually increasing over the years. Experts states that the Kingdom of Dorvik will become Luthori's third largest trade partner in Artania, as Kundrati's place continues to decline even with the collapse of the pseudo-legionary regime in Kasaema.

"...The Luthorians remains helplessly distrustful of Kundrati...", laments Jake Proud, an economy professor at the University of Northminster, "...they would rather sign an agreement with the Dorvish, who have been held in the same regard as the Kundratis for generations within Luthori's halls of power than even think of signing an agreement with Kundrati to restart trade and help the struggling nation in our north...", this sentiment remains helplessly true to this day, as Foreign Secretary Gent remained vague on Luthori's true intention regarding Cross-Sea bilateral relations, for both Kasaema and Fort William, it seems, due to their shared recent history drenched in blood, ideological struggle, decades of propaganda pitted against each other and two wars over territories and ideologies strained to an unreasonable level relations, furthermore, the Luthorian response to the 5657 diplomatic crisis, further complicated matters as Luthori seemingly abandonned Kundrati to her bleak fate.

While Luthorian foreign policy has been traditionally focused towards Seleyan politics or Dovani and Eastern World shenanigans, the Brooke government's stern rebuke of traditional conservative foreign policy, turning rather inwards and dealing with Luthori's presence in the Artanian continent, as did the most recent Labour government. For Gent, this shift in foreign affairs was "necessary", as Luthori's current geopolitical reality do not allow her to "overstretch" her foreign policy, as was the case with the Labour government's idealist foreign policy style. With relations currently being expanded with Narikaton and Darnussia and Dorvik, the case is made for a greater interest of Luthori's conservative politicians and analysts at the traditionally left-wing doctrine of "Pan-Artanianism", although dismissed as an "idiotic lunacy" by current senior Foreign Office officials, numerous left-wing outlets have begun talking about the "powergrab" of the movement by the Tory Party, which is now using the platform as an electoral benefits.

Regardless, the Conservative-led administration has expressed hopes for the future of bilateral relations being strengthened through "common understanding" and "shared interests", both philosophies that have strengthened relations with the three Dundorfian-speaking states that are Dundorf, Dorvik and Narikaton and Darnussia.
