Helle Thorning-Schmidt, Minister of Foreign Affairs before Parliament
Parliament House.- Order, order! Minister's Questions are now in order!
The Honorable Minister, Helle Thorning-Schmidt will be taking questions from the House.
- CMPDeputy Speaker, In the wake of the Caspian Triunvirate how does the Minister feel that we can move forward with Reitzmag given their hostilities in the past?
HTS Deputy Speaker, I believe that a strategy of cautious pragmatism will be ideal going forward, as one should be hopeful to see improved relations between the Kingdom of Reitzmag and Kingdom of Montenbourg, but be mindful as to what is at stake here. The situation is deplorable, and only talks about the delay in this progress. We join our friends and allies on their previous statements.
- GP Mr Deputy Speaker, How does the Government aim to address the growing hostilities against political dissenters in Copala City? Activists are jailed and students are jailed.
HTS Deputy Speaker, I understand that a previous government exerted some pressure on Reitzmag for its violent actions, under the economic blockade of the Bordeaux Decree however, we will continue to monitor the situation in Copala City and work on an optimal path forward.
- CMP Deputy Speaker, How is the Foreign Ministerresponding to the worrying news of the criminal charges against Montenbourgian nationals in Gadalland?
HTS This situation has been solved under the permanent dialogue and negotiation of our Charge d' Affairs, Walker Bush. The citizens are in Montenbourgian soil, they have been extradited.
- CMP Mr. Deputy Speaker, Does the government have any plans to support the expansion and creation of a Commonwealth - as there are several countries who have currently applied, and many more whom have expressed interest?
HTS Deputy Speaker, I have no real opinion on the expansion or creation of a Commonwealth.
- GP Mr. Deputy Speaker, Does the government have any plans, proposals, or ideas, to assist in the stabilisation of multiple countries or parts of countries, in Nofoaga which have become destabilised as of late volcano eruption?
HTS We have started a project under Foreign Aid for the creation of eco housing in Tuagavale, Nofoaga. This with the help of private montenbourgian sector. We remain committed to working with our regional partners in Nofoaga to assist their security and stability situation and that position hasn’t changed.
- CMPMr Speaker, To ask the Minister of Foreign Affairs, in light of The Bergen Climate Change Conference is the government on board?
HTS Deputy Speaker, I am incredibly proud of the work that has been accomplished by this department the previous term, this government has been incredibly proactive in matters of climate change and I think we've set a positive legacy for the future. Yes, is our answer to the Bergen accord.
- CMP Deputy Speaker, Our main adversaries, are rapidly expanding their military capabilities. We are not netral anymore. How can the Foreign Minister talk in light of this?
HTS Deputy Speaker, we are upholding the defence procurements of our allies such as the Empire of Inimicus, which I feel obliged to state was supported by the previous administration under the Classical Monarchist Party. I don't see what has to be justified here considering that, yes we are not neutral anymore that doesn't mean we are going to war, but I am proud of the efforts we've made this term to support our allies and confront authoritarianism. Also this government is looking forward for a defence treaty with the brother nations of Spain and Inquista.
