Grand Council for Diplomatic Affairs
Shahdara
The Foreign Minister of Sri Siva was an honored guest of the Sikandari Grand Councillor and, as such, both ministers and their delegations had had lunch together before beginning the matters at hand. The cooks had worked especially hard at presenting a lovely variety of delicacies from Sri Siva and Sikandara, side by side, in the meal. It had been challenging for them but the end result was delicious. That much was certain.
Sitting in the grand drawing room, with his cup of cool mint tea resting in his lap, Grand Councillor Rustam Ghaznavi looked at his counterpart, Administrator Visariya "In this day and age, it is good to be amongst friends..." he said before he sipped his tea, while the Khadim poured out some pomegranate wine for his guest. "As you know since we began our operations in Yujin," he acknowledged the open secret, "we have been pressed in a delicate situation. But I suppose one must do what one has to."
Finishing his tea and placing the glass cup on a tray, which was whisked away by some other member of the staff, Ghaznavi opened his dossier and put his glasses on the tip of his nose, reading the agenda for the meeting. "I suppose the first point of order is the economic front. I'm assuming you received the agenda we prepared for the meeting."
"As the first point is on bilateral trade... well, trade at present stands much higher than it did a few years ago but it is felt that it could be encouraged at the state level to grow to a greater level. Our hope is to pursue 2-3% annual growth in our trade. Secondly, we hope that recent legislative changes in Sikandara will make it easier for foreign companies, Sri Sivan companies, to conduct operations in Sikandara by establishing local subsidiaries. We hope that similar opportunities would be made available for our companies wishing to operate in Sri Siva." Grand Councillor Ghaznavi paused as one of the Khadim arrived in the room with a trolley of tea for the assembled officials. As the meeting was not being conducted in Sikandari, Ghaznavi continued without fear of being eavesdropped by this staff member, "The details of our proposals shall be ironed out between our respective trade ministers... but I am still presenting the case from my government to yours... so let's see..." he flipped through a few pages.
"The Imperial Treasury in Shahdara has asked for a new tariff structure to be organized between our countries, perhaps with lower and more favourable rates on both ends. And additionally, it is thought best that both governments should make it easier for men of mercantile backgrounds and those who have business interests to move in and out of our countries... perhaps a special business visa." Placing the glasses back on the sidetable, he looked back at the Sivanese woman, "But most importantly, Sikandara is looking to Sri Siva to assist this government in financial matters by allowing easier access to Sivanese banking markets and other institutions, which can allow a greater amount of cash inflow into Sikandara. And of-course, we know that this has been on the table for a while, but Sikandara has finalized the details of a preferential oil agreement with your country, should it so desire to seek one with us."
"Your thoughts, Administrator Visariya?"
