How will you ascertain that trade will be 'inevitable' and be 'the future' as Mr. Fu stated? Likewise, how would you be sure that lawful businesses and investments will truly be accepted by the people of both countries and lead to improved ties?"

"About Qianrong..." said President-General Fu (making sure he didn't mention anything about 'letting the ASQ bomb that country' during his discussion with Shjoraski, as that would sound unprofessional), "....as President Shjoraski said, a nuclear-armed Qianrong is detrimental to both stability in the East Namor Sea, and the domestic situation in Qianrong. We support actions taken by anyone to rid Qianrong of its nuclear arsenal, and as Qianrong's primary benefactor, Luziyca can do much to make sure that happens. Also, we are supportive of Luziycan measures to prevent the regime in Qianrong from turning to governments, particularly the Zepuhan regime, for assistance that it can easily get from Bethlehem, us or any moderate parties in the region. No one has abandoned anyone, no one will abandon anyone, the status quo needs to stay in the East Sea. Thanks for asking."

"Uh...." Fu mumbled for a split second, "First of all, when it comes to situations like these, one doesn't necessarily have to trade something or something else. We didn't go through this much, but the Namorese position hasn't changed. We want democratic governance to return to places in eastern Esquarium where it has been taken away. There is no one and there is nothing saying that...democratic governance can be restored to eastern Esquarium in turn for Namor giving up its rightful claim over the occupied territories or vice versa. I have full confidence in my people, and I believe they care equally for both the occupied territories and the east."

Fu decided to allow Shjoraski answer first.Luziyca wrote:Shjoraski replied, "The reason why it is inevitable is due to the fact that Namor has large markets which has been untapped. Since normalization, trade has increased from virtually nil to being the third largest trading partner, and with many Luziycan companies tapping in the new market that is Namor, we feel that trade will be the glue that binds us together."
"If our two countries increase trade relations," added Fu, "it will make us dependent on each other in some degree. Perhaps that interdependence will make us more rational in making decisions regarding relations between us and Luziyca."
New Zepuha wrote:"Interesting.." murmured the reporter to himself taking a few notes down, "To follow that up, it has been announced that Bergmann will not seek a second term. With popular moderate candidate Adolf von Berkhausen running a platform of reform, if the New Zepuhan government were successful as such reforms would Namor be more open to repair frayed relations with New Zepuha?"

She says: "Good morning/afternoon/evening, this is Zoë Théa for EBS News. I will ask three questions. To President-General Fu, I will ask you the following question: how much of a threat do you consider the formation of the Nevan Commonwealth to be? To President Shjoraski, how much will you intervene for Unolia in case Roubao is invaded by Unolian forces? And last but not least, I will ask to both Mr. Fu and Mr. Shjoraski: will Namor and Luziyca eventually join forces for a potential alliance against the Triumvirate and other alliances considered «rogue», considering both of your countries reach an agreement for the Nantai issue and are considering opening up the road to friendly Namo-Luziycan trade?"

Inwardly, Fu was getting a little annoyed, if not pissed. These damn foreigner's been asking me questions about eastern Esquarium, and asked Shjoraski none of the same subject, and I made my position crystal clear and they say I'm dodging 'every question?' Heavens, I thought this was a press conference, not a struggle session!
He cleared his throat, and suppressed outrage with a businessman's smile and a heartily chuckle. "I made my point extremely clear. Our stance on the situation in eastern Esquarium has not changed a bit---we condemned the regime change and we still do, and I myself said that I favor the restoration of democratic governance in countries which lost it. In order to do that," he shot a smiling look at Shjoraski, "Mr. Shjoraski's gotta do what he's gotta do.
"I will tell you, though, that my administration is not going to refuse seeking better relations with Luziyca just because of what goes on in the other side of the world," he said. "We are concerned and we are monitoring every move everyone's been making there, but it's just not worth enough to justify continued hostilities with Luziyca. Rather, I feel like if Namor and Luziyca improves relations and strengthens efforts at detente, what goes on in the east can be stopped in a more easier and diplomatic way. Don't you get it? We can't get anything done anywhere if we refuse to talk with each other. We can't resolve any problem no matter where it takes place if we don't shake hands. Trade? That's one thing. Eastern Esquarium?" his smile widened. "That's something else. It's really unfair to say that I think one thing is more 'valuable' than the other. I hope that answers your question.
"Don't go around saying I dodge questions about eastern Esquarium, then, because I made my stance transparent and my friend from Luziyca hasn't even commented on it. Yet."
