处理边境争端

Good morning, Ambassador Lee. Thank you for agreeing to this urgent meeting. The recent incursions along our shared border have created significant concern within our government.

Good morning, Ambassador Davies. The sentiment is mutual. We are equally keen to de-escalate tensions and seek a peaceful resolution. However, we must also acknowledge the historical context of these disputed territories.

Indeed, history plays a crucial role. However, current incursions have gone beyond historical claims. We have documented instances of military personnel crossing the established demarcation line.

Our reports indicate that your forces have also been operating in areas we consider our sovereign territory, based on historical treaties. This seems to be a misunderstanding of current boundaries.

Perhaps a joint fact-finding mission would be beneficial. We need to establish a clear, verifiable understanding of the current situation on the ground before any long-term solutions can be discussed.

I agree that transparency is key. A joint mission could certainly help clarify the facts. What immediate steps can we take to reduce the current tensions while this investigation proceeds?

We propose a temporary withdrawal of all personnel to at least 5 kilometers from the existing de facto border line, on both sides. This would create a buffer zone and allow for calm engagement.

That's a significant step. We would need to discuss the feasibility of a 5-kilometer withdrawal with our military command. Perhaps 3 kilometers as a starting point? We must ensure the safety of our citizens in the border areas.

Let's aim for 5 kilometers, recognizing the gravity of the situation. We can task our military attaches to work out the logistics. The objective here is to prevent any further escalation.

Agreed. Preventing escalation is paramount. Let's direct our respective attaches to meet and outline the technical details for a mutual disengagement and the fact-finding mission immediately. This emergency session has been productive.
