[Cataphrak]

The motion admit Malaysia into the Pan-Asian Council passes 8-2, and has received the consent of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. Malaysia will be duly admitted into the Pan-Asian Council, and the Southern Regional Council.

The motion to grant India observer status fails 6-4. India has been refused observer status on the Pan-Asian Council.

The motion to grant the Socialist Republics of American observer status on the Pan-Asian Council is currently tied at 5-5. The measure will be decided pending a vote by the Federation of Korea.

[Alucard Tobor]

The Federation of Korea votes to induct the Socialist Republics of America as an observer to the PAC.

[Cataphrak]

The motion to grant the Socialist Republics of America observer status within the Pan-Asian Council passes 6-5. The SRA will duly have the right to observe all Pan-Asian Council meetings, as well as the right to observe the meetings of the Regional Councils, pending the approval of the Regional Council hosts.

[Cataphrak]

The recent resumption of the Bangladeshi Civil War is a cause for some concern. While Bangladesh is not a MORALE member, it shares borders with Assam, which is. The possibility that violence, political instability, or renewed German Flu outbreaks may spread across the border is a very real one, and a danger which can not only affect Bangladesh's immediate neighbours, but the whole of East and Southeast Asia.

As a result, the Republic of China calls a general meeting of the Pan-Asian Council, with the intention of soliciting proposals for potential courses of action which may permanently stabilise the Bangladeshi situation.

[Markus Wilding]

Nepal, Assam, Thailand, Malaysia and Tibet propose immediate PAC intervention alongside Korean forces already in-country. Vietnam, Xinjiang, Mongolia and Northern China propose sanctions and measures to limit the proliferation of arms to the various factions, but disagreements run amok on who to support and who the sanctions should target. The Liaoning Republic remains neutral as its representative voices that it "wants to see where the chips fall."

[Cataphrak]

The matter of potential intervention in the Bangladeshi Civil War will be subject to a full council vote, given the following options:

1: Support of the current Korean intervention (Support SocDems, send in troops)
2: Sanctions in favour of the Bangladeshi Regime
3: Sanctions in favour of Anarchists
4: Sanctions in favour of Monarchists
5: Sanctions in favour of Social Democrats (but without commitment of troops)

The measure with the most votes in favour will be the official position of the Pan-Asian Council. While MORALE members will not be compelled to support it, they will be required not to contradict, or oppose the council's ruling by acting independently.

[Markus Wilding]

Mongolia votes in favor of option 5.
Northern China votes in favor of option 5.
Liaoning votes in favor of option 2.
Xinjiang votes in favor of option 2.
Tibet votes in favor of option 3.
Nepal votes in favor of option 3.
Vietnam votes in favor of option 5.
Laos votes in favor of option 4.
Thailand votes in favor of option 1.
Assam votes in favor of option 1.
Malaysia votes in favor of option 4.

[Alucard Tobor]

Korea votes in favour of expanding upon the current intervention underway (option 1).

[Cataphrak]

With a two-way tie for either sanctions in favour of, or direct military intervention in favour of the Social Democratic faction in Bangladesh, the vote goes to a second round.

Council members must choose to support Sanctions, Intervention. The plurality will be the official stance of MORALE as a whole, but no government will be forced to commit to troop deployments if necessary.
