Brunei to sign Trade Pact with Singapore, also expected to form Straits League
Today, the Foreign Minister concluded successful negotiations with the Sultan of Brunei that have drawn the two nations together. Citing disputes with Malaysia, the Foreign Minister outlined the Pact as a method of "mutual defense against outside aggression."
The Strait of Malacca Confederation Pact (known simply as the Straits Confederated League) lays out the following ground rules for the alliance:
1. The formation of the Straits League from the parties of Brunei and Singapore to ensure mutual security in the area.
2. The cessation of any and all trade barriers between Brunei and Singapore.
3. The formation of the Straits Joint Defense Command to coordinate defensive procedures and to help modernize both parties' militaries.
4. The two leaders, the Prime Minister of Singapore and the Sultan of Brunei, are still the leaders of their respective countries. However, a Confederation Council will be formed with representatives from both nations where issues will be resolved, with a Chairman elected from the Council.
5. A currency will be decided upon at a future date.
6. Defensively the militaries of the Straits League will act as one. Aggressively, they will act jointly with approval of the Council.
7. Slavery and piracy will be uttetrly banned, as will be drug smuggling and possession in the League. Punishment will be left to local authorities for enforcement for the latter crime.
