DTA and Bolitic sign non-aggression and economic treaty

Many never thought this day would never come but the Dinos (as part of the Dino Trade Association) and Bolitic Confederacy have signed a non-aggression and economic treaty on Sirikwan. Under the terms of the treaty signed by MBH and Melson both sides have pledged to not engage in combat operations against the other for at least ten years. There will also be a direct communication line between the Dino Army HQ and Bolitic Imperial Command.

More importantly though for the Bolitic, with it's crumbling economy, will be trade and investment. The DTA will invest fifteen billion koleks (around eight billion zarks) in the Bolitic economy as well as providing assistance in converting the Bolitic economy from it's military focus.

A number of Bolitic have accused Melson of treason though not as many as once would have been the case. A former UNP ambassador to the Bolitic has said that most Bolitic have now accepted the dire state of the Confederacy, which is in danger of becoming a third-rate power. The recent military operation against the Utrek was a case in point, around half the operational fleet was used in the operation - with fuel drained from the other half!
