Your Excellency,
Alduria appreciates your reply to our concerns. We do not presume or intend to tell Caradia or any of the nations belonging to the Ciric Confederacy to follow another religion, to restrain from defending itself, or to refrain from doing things that only affect them and their nation.
However, we must insist that further weather modification near Aldurian territories and ecosystems must end. We will not be satisfied with "attempting" to end weather modification efforts that directly affect Alduria. We expect a firm commitment to this before further cooperation between our nations can be realized. Aldurian scientists have routinely confirmed that weather modification is not always effective (particularly as claimed by Caradia) and more often results in the contamination of areas affected. It is often extremely difficult to show clearly that cloud seeding has a very large effect.
We are relieved to understand that Caradia has no imperialist designs on our home continent.
Having noted our concerns, Alduria does note that it bears no ill will to any nation and that we are a nation of peace.
We would be amenable to having a Treaty with Caradia that reflects a commitment to friendship and cooperation. As relations between Alduria and Caradia grow and take root, we would be amenable to extending visa-free access to Caradian citizens. However, in the interests of caution, we must decline to include that in the Treaty at this time.
Please see the revised Treaty draft below:
