OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION FROM THE GOVERNMENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NEW DERUSMIA
To: Chairwoman Therz
Firstly, I would like to cordially greet you through this letter. I hope you have been fairing well since our meeting in Nueva Lungsod.
Your concerns are not unfounded, Rokkenjiman naval activity has been a major controversy and SANE, in its earlier days, had indeed been under threat by Rokkenjima. However, Relations between New Derusmia and Rokkenjima, have since normalised and suspicion of secret IRN activities within the Antalin Sea and beyond have close-to dissipated with the introduction of a defence-prioritised naval doctrine. The signing of a Non-Aggression Pact between the founding members of SANE and Rokkenjima has further subdued suspicion and hostile opinions of the First Empire.
The New Derusmian government respects both the Heyran Republic and the First Empire of Rokkenjima as future partners and wishes to aid in the potential normalisation of relations between the two countries. Therefore, we choose not to participate in these shared information gathering activities.
Despite this, I do believe that international cooperation between our seafaring nations, one not against any particular nation or organisation, would certainly be beneficial for reasons beyond increased military preparedness and intelligence gathering. For this reason, a delegation from New Derusmia will be in attendance, not including myself. If you may approve, they will be observing the conference rather than taking an active part, and any treaty or agreement created as a result of this meeting will not be signed immediately but possibly at a later date by either myself or under my approval.
With all due respect,
President of the Federal Republic of New DerusmiaEbston Feish
