Kogen joined the lady and gentlemen at the table, and sipped his tea. "I have received a draft of the treaty worked out by our teams. I think it is a wonderful testament to the close relations the GMG and Kusari have, and the cultural heritage we share. While there are a couple points for discussion, I think this document properly reiterates the Kusari commitment to the Guild's sovereignty, and the Guild's commitment to the security of Kusari. It shows all of Sirius the things that can be achieved when neighbors treat each other as neighbors, respect each other, and work together to make things better for both their people. My hope is that this document will become a shining light for all peoples, that more will be accomplished through partnerships and cooperation, then will ever be gained through use of force. Hakoni-san, both the Guild and Kusari owe you a debt today, if not for your work, I dont think we would be in this place.
