Kirelesile Conference | The Conference

Rikkalek sighed.
"All in attendance should understand that there is a wide diversity in the economic structures of those in attendance," he said. "This is not an anti-capitalist project; this is a project meant merely to improve self-sufficiency for the less well-off, to prevent political manipulation, particularly through financial means."

"I object vigorously to the Strathean delegation's accusations of 'economic war' between members of the Telum Treaty, among which North Diessen proudly counts itself, and other nations in the region", Mueller announced, hoping to fan the flames ever so slightly, "We also fully agree with the Czech Slavian delegation that North Diessen will not partake in a military or defensive pact, nor will we surrender access rights, whether military or trade, as part of this conference."
Whispering to his minister, Ekrem asked "Palace approval for discussion of tariff lowering?" Arnum Blauberg could be seen texting vigorously, and showing Ekrem the reply he got. "What? 'You do you, xoxo - Artie' I guess that settles that." Taking the floor again, Ekrem Mueller said: "Thank you, president Rikkalek, for returning us to reality here. The Confederacy has no particular objections to lowering of trade tariffs between our nations, although we are slightly puzzled by the Strathean obsession with trade barriers, and how they could miraculously lead to more prosperity for everyone. If you can't produce much, you can't export much, no matter how many tariffs you lower.
"We thank the Istkalen delegation for their clarification on the joint fund idea. We would happily work with them to achieve the necessary regulations and protocols to achieve this plan, and we further agree that influence from outside actors would -- at least mostly... - be undesirable. I can think of a few major infrastructure projects for which the Confederacy would happily receive financial aid..."

"We thank the delegation from North Diessen for their support regarding the joint fund," said Isztenn. "Regardless, moving on somewhat, we would like to discuss cooperation in the areas of research and education. Lowering the barriers needed for students to study in our respective countries is one path forwards; another, perhaps, would be also by making state-funded research - not those which are state secrets, of course - more accessible to all of our respective nations. Other ideas on this subject are welcomed."

(OOC: OK. Sorry for my very late reply, irl is been very crazy as of late)
Yosainese Secretary of Finance Shinobu Takemoto replied in a soft spoken voice, the former accountant with now slightly greying hair, individual strands throughout his hairline "People, please. This talk of an economic war isn't helping anyone. While it is true that my nation is currently in ECON, well one of its founding members, we don't endorse or push any particular economic model of any kind. UD has their policies as well as Reitzmag as well as Yosai. But just looking past all of that the Federal Republic of Yosai doesn't officially label itself or endorse any economic model over another, if at all. What we should focus on is as the original purpose development for projects such as services, infrastructure development and so on. What we should be talking about is the mechanism that we should draft in order to ensure that whatever loan criteria or payment mechanisms benefit all members as well as having equal footing with all. Dividing nations in one camp or another isn't going to help the situation. However I do have one question, is there a mechanism in place for international dispute settlement in which nations of this body should settle thier disputes. Would that be the ECOJ? Or some kind of tribunal? The reason I ask is because with the changes of government and policy would clash with pre-existing agreements, which would be a given. We just want to know what the nature of such a dispute settlement would be."

Isztenn spoke again. "We have a draft agreement proposed; are there any issues with it before we move on, or are those gathered here ready to sign?"
-
Searlait Mhic Cuairt Sgot: I think there is nothing objectionable. We will definitely sign this.
-
We thank Ms Isztenn for drafting this agreement and are ready to sign today.
-
We have no issues with this draft, and are ready to sign.
-
"Like the delegation from North Diessen I'd also like to express my thanks to Ms. Isztenn, there are no objections from the side of the Democratic Republic of Czech Slavia. Ratification will however depend on a domestic referendum."
-
Those in agreement signed, bindingly, tentatively, or otherwise, the proposed treaty. The meeting then came to an end.
