Eternity RPC Board
Vice Chancellor Lavete had his remarks prepared the week prior, fully knowing his opening statement would be the only one he could make with any sense of thoughtfulness put in advance. He looked over to behind him, his friend and Director of Brigidnan Affairs, Alexander Killstock nodded in approval over the words they had both worked diligently on.
"The High Republic of Varenthia looks towards a future of Brigidnan cooperation that extends beyond simply just talks with variously important diplomats, and never consistent numbering of nations attending said talks. Talking, negotiating, can only go so far until it becomes lost like dust in the wind. Some of you must be thinking that is what we are doing now however. No, we are taking the first steps towards something greater, we simply must not bring ourselves down and continue to move forward no matter what.
Our children and their studies are the key to our success in the future, Varenthia would support an opt-in program for nations interested in a standardized regional student visa application processed tied into the university application process. Varenthia has a program for foreign students where their visa application is synonymous with the university, albeit obviously with extra information required, so in the event they are accepted their attain a student visa as long as they remain enrolled in the university. Expanding such a program to a regional basis could see the chance for renewed appreciation for the many nations of our continent among our students, and foster in a new era of academia and innovation.
In the greater scope of things Varenthia sees this as a chance to allow for cooperation on cypersecurity, easement of tariffs and potential for new travel visa standards for nations which opt in to such a program; however Varenthia itself wishes to to see cooperation on the scientific front by the creation of a regional organization to organize new research projects and grants for universities and other public and private organizations. My personal hope is that we could use this as a stepping stone towards the creation of a Brigidnan patent treaty protecting the rights of the creator and their creations.
We have more to gain by finding common areas of working together that benefit us all, than remaining cynical and hardline. I hope we all work towards something here at this conference rather than against something."
