Govt. secures Treaty after 3 years of negotiations
- The Martinique Government has secured its first major diplomatic victory following its re-election. It was announced earlier today that Villesen has reached accord with its counterpart in Marsilia and that a Treaty of Harmony and Good-Neighbourliness has been agreed to. The bilateral treaty comes as Serenierre has making overt efforts to solidify its relations with the immediate periphery of Gallian nations and enhance options and possibilities for an increase in trade.
- The treaty, which is said to encompass three dimensions: diplomatic, economic, and strategic, has many points of interest which are presented in summary below:
- STRATEGIC:
- The two countries recognize their mutual opposition to Nichstein's territorial claims on the Retalian Sea. Additionally, both countries stand in opposition to any attempt to establish a Pan-Gallian state.
- The two countries affirm and acknowledge the need for cooperation to resolve regional security issues; such as tackling the international criminal syndicates operating across the Long Sea and the Retalian Sea, including anti-narcotics, anti-terror, and anti-human trafficking operations.
- The two countries agree to provide mutual defence in a situation where the national sovereignty of either is under threat by offensive steps undertaken by a third party.
- DIPLOMATIC:
- The two countries recognize that the Treaty is a bilateral treaty which aims to look at only bilateral and regional affairs, ensuring that the contracting parties may conduct a foreign policy independent of this treaty, in so far as it does not conflict with the obligations and clauses of the Treaty. Both contracting parties, furthermore, stand in solidarity on the principles of national-sovereignty, mutual cooperation, self-defence, and committed to non-interference in each other's internal affairs
- ECONOMIC:
- The two countries shall take active steps to reduce barriers to investment and travel for their citizens, focus on enhancing cooperation between the universities in their countries, allow greater opportunities for students to study in the other country, and create a looser visa regime for citizens from either country.
- The two countries shall allow access through each other's territorial waters for the purposes of trade and supply, the two countries shall furthermore provide reduced tariffs for ships from the contracting parties harboured in their ports.
- STRATEGIC:
- The treaty is the first sign of greater cooperation between various Gallian nations in recent years. The Martinique Government is said to be organising a similar treaty with, both, Gallega and Andaluz, while also pushing for stronger ties with Vinedia.
