In the interest of promoting greater political and economic cooperation between the Free Peoples of Gallia, King Brennian Leukos Segovilaix invites the Heads of State and their authorized representatives of the Kingdom of Etnaea, the Kingdom of Portusgalia, the Empire of Great Engellex, and Mergogne to meet in Brigandurum two weeks hence, to discuss the establishment of common economic, cultural, and defense policies. This Conference shall convene on 17 April, and is open to all representatives of the afforementioned States. Any agreement reached at this Conference will be considered non-binding until ratified by the requisite legislative body of each attending State.
The King and his Cabinet have prepared a preliminary list of proposals which the Kingdom of Transabina views as vital to establishing mutual trust and partnership between the Democratic States of Gallia, and as providing the cornerstone for future peace and cooperation between these States and their constituent peoples. While all listed proposals shall be open for discussion, agreement to any specific proposal is not required for attendance.

[OOC: Just in case this is not clear, this is an invitation for foreign leaders in Gallia to discuss a series of common economic/cultural/defense policies proposed by the Transabinian Government. Attendance is non-mandatory, and adherence to any/all of the listed proposals is not required. I would like to RP the conference in this thread, if people are willing, but if everyone willing to attend is onboard we could resolve this with just a few diplomatic posts indicating agreement to the proposals listed. I invite counter proposals and objections at any time.]
