"Of course" Said General Secretary Watanabe. Kyomi got on the phone and requested the good. General Secretary Watanabe spoke again "So Prime Minister Bishop, free trade, we are of the same mind. I am under the impression that your economy, while not exactly blessed with natural resources, your nation is a high income economy. I assume that if that is the case your country replies mostly on service income and importing resources from other nations and exporting manufactured products?"
Kyomi then got off the phone "OK Well I can confirm that the food will be here in 20 or so minutes. However the wine is on its way now." Literally a minute later the sake rice wine arrived with a staffer handing it to the Secretary of Commerce & Industry. The bottle was wheeled in with 4 sake cups. The sake was Dassai Shochu, the famous brand was known across the nation and while not the strongest rice wine, it was the smoothest in terms of taste. The bottle said 40% alcohol.
The General Secretary raised his eyebrow. "This is 40% Kyomi, isn't that a little too much? I mean we are in the middle of a state meeting"
"It will be fine sir. /we just need to portion it" She replied
"Ok then." He replied in a light but apprehensive tone.
The General Secretary then poured the sake into the cups, wanting to be careful about the amount in each cup.
"So Madam Prime Minister I would just like to start with a proposal of an ease of visa access program and free trade to start, however free trade can mean many things. To us it basically the removal of tariff and non tariff barriers of goods. However to what degree I like to leave up to the other party in question the we go from there. What do say?" He said with a gentle smile.
