"I must first state that the Empire supports Korova's application." Chirag stated, before turning to Sif.
"On the matter of Highton, though; all due respect, ambassador?" Chirag replied, "I am not the one who does not seem to understand. I believe I just said, in response to Ambassador Frigo, that my government has very much acknowledged the mistake it made in not postponing the visit for a second time. It very clearly had the opposite effect to what was intended, and we will be taking measures to ensure that such a situation does not manifest in the future."
"You seem to be ignoring this and insisting upon the narrative that this error was in fact some sort of malicious venture. This could not be further from the truth. I have said it before and will say it again: the Empire has stood for and will continue to stand for freedom, democracy, and multilateral diplomacy. You may call our pledge of cooperation a smokescreen, ambassador, but actions will speak louder than words."
