"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen." The newscaster began. "Today, Prime Minister Edmund Wilson and President Dmitry Molchanov met in Moscow to ratify a trade pact which allowed free trade between the two nations. Historically, Russia and The United Kingdom has had a rocky relationship due to the alliance The UK had with NATO in the 1900's and the controversial leadership of Vladimir Putin, however The Prime Minister today, in a joint press conference with the President, declared that this was 'a bright beginning to a new relationship'." The view then switched to one of The Kremlin, where the two leaders were in a press conference room. Edmund spoke first.  "Today sees a huge step forward for The United Kingdom. The ratification of this trade pact is a bright beginning to a new relationship between The British and The Russian people. I and President Molchanov, I am sure, are at the opinion that close cooperation is what ensures lasting peace in these troubled times instead of suspicion and backroom intrigue. I would also like to pay tribute to President Molchanov for stepping up to the plate and providing the permanent incarceration of the terrorist, Omar Al-Ghazi." The Prime Minister then took a sip of water while people gave light applause before looking to Dmitry Molchanov at the podium beside his for his half of the announcement. |

 Dmitry chuckled and nodded to the Prime Minister. "Well, I take the task of keeping Omar in custody with anxiety in mind, given his track record, but we are not here to discuss a wanted man's incarceration. We are here to discuss our new open trade agreement. I am personally thankful to Mr. Wilson here for not only coming to Moscow to discuss this on his terms, but also to prove that you are willing to come to my home country and show that we are equals in this endeavor. With this agreement, new opportunities will arise, both politically and economically, and we hope that the rest of the world can follow our example and put an end to their grudges with former enemies that they are at peace with." Applause erupted as Dmitry took a sip of water, waiting for Edmund's response. |

"President Molchanov's words are truly illuminating." Edmund began. "Ever since World War Two, the world has allowed grudges to dictate how it acts towards others, even though time has changed the world as we know it. The Cold War has been over for decades and it's time to finally realise that Russia is no longer a communist state, it is trying hard to throw off the shackles of that undignified image... And The United Kingdom is the first to truly recognise that change. Together, two of the worlds most historically significant nations will set an example that will hopefully be followed by the rest of the world."

Dmitry then took up a pen and held it to the crowd.
"This pen, given to me by my father, who received it from his father, will be the utensil used to ratify this free-trade agreement between the powers of Russia and the United Kingdom, and usher in a new age of peace and prosperity for the peoples of both sides of the Eurasian landmass!" Dmitry then turned to Edmund and held out his hand.
"To the dawn of peace between East and West."

Edmund smiled and nodded solemnly.
"To a brighter future for the world at large." He added before gesturing towards the treaty for Molchanov to sign first.

Dmitry smiled and turned towards the document on the podium before signing it in his signature before handing the pen to Edmund.
"Your signing with my heirloom will make this pact that much more official."

"And I am honoured that you see this as an occasion fit to have such an heirloom used for it." Edmund stated before taking the pen and signing his own name. He then handed the pen back to Molchanov while thunderous applause occurred.
