Mordvanian delegation was headed by Minister of Foreign Minister Borislav Zahovek and Minister of Finance Kazys Gimbutiené, who had recently been promoted to the Vice-Presidency of the Republican Council.
“Before I start”, Minister Borislav Zahovek said, “I would like to thank Mr. Lisle and the West Brigidnan Union for their welcoming here and their ambitious initiative, that I sincerely hope that is able to give birth to stronger cooperation between the Brigidnan community”.
“A student visa program seems to me a positive way to start this conference”, Zahovek continued. “One may say that is not only a good proposal in itself, but even at a symbolical level, as a sign of commitment to look toward the future and bring together the peoples of the Brigidnan continent...Since more than ten years, there has been a similar student program between the Republic of Mordvania and East Kaljurand which has brought excellent results. We are therefore open to such initiative. It would be positive if the signatories government agreed as well to reduce any extra higher education fees for Brigidnan students, in order to improve the excellency and fairness of such programa”.
“Regional security is also an important issue where cooperation could be certainly positive, we agree”, Zahovek continued after a pause. “However, such a security system as the one being proposed implies important challenges which can not be ignored. It is important that such system is not an arbitrary one, but rather a rules-based system. Not because some abstract idea of national sovereigntly, but for practical reasons such as the principles of judicial review and constitutional guarantees”.
“Varenthian proposal of further cooperation in the fields of scientific research and education is interesting in our view”, Kazys Gimbutiené added once Minister Zahovek finished his intervention. “We hope that Brigidnan cooperation is also expanded toward a stronger protection of intellectual property as well”.
