The Treaty of friendship and cooperation between the Çakar Empire and the Sultanate of Kurum Ash-Sharqia was signed and ratified in 1712 AN.
Background
The royal houses of Çakaristan and Kurum Ash-Sharqia are related through Kurum Ash-Sharqian princess consort Elisabeth Asara des Vinandy, who is a half sister of Shahanshah Jaaguzan, born Frederik Harald des Vinandy. The families maintained warm contacts. After the consolidation of the Çakar Empire, both governments deemed the time to be ripe for a formal friendship treaty.
State visit
A formal state visit was organized from 11.XI.1712 AN tot 12.XI.1712 AN. A large delegation of 300 politicians, business men and people from the cultural sector joined the Sultan and Grand Vizier Kawthar Saleh to Agra. In between the official ceremonies, contacts were made and various contracts were signed.
Day 1
The Sultan and his entourage were received on the forecourt of the Red Fortress. There, 21 gun salutes were performed from the wall. The Sultanic Couple being welcomed by the Shahanshah and his wife at the Red Fortress. The Sultan was invited to inspect the guard of honor. Under military display, the honour guard stood at attention. The sultan walked past the honour guard, across the green runner. After the press photo, the Sultanic couple was escorted across the bridge into the Red Fortress. A brief tour was given and lunch was prepared.
The Sultanic couple was transferred by carriage to the Nation Park. This park is adjacent to the Palace of the Nation, where the Çakari Congress resides. There stands the National Monument, which commemorates the war dead including those of Sylvanian National Awakening, Çakaristan's war of independence. As is customary during state visits to Çakaristan, the Sultanic Couple laid a wreath at the National Monument.
They also attended the Çakari Congress. The Sultan would not give a speech to the Majlis al-Nuwaab because he is not a head of government. Kawthar Saleh, Grand Vizier of Kurum Ash-Sharqia, did give a speech to the Majlis al-Nuwaab. The Sultan and Sultana were guests of honor and attended the session in which the Grand Vizier spoke. The first day of the state visit concluded with a state banquet at the Red Fortress, where the Shahanshah and the Sultan each gave a speech.
Day 2
The grand viziers of both nations had gathered at the Rani Mahal. A ceremony was held there, during which the treaty was signed. Kawthar Saleh had thanked the Çakari initiative for the Convention on Civil Aviation the day before. In the Red Fortress, the heads of state awarded orders to each other:
To Jaaguzan, Shahanshah of Çakaristan, was awarded the Grand cordon of the Order of As-Saif.
To Salah Ad-Din Al-Lusirni, Sultan of Kurum Ash-Sharqia, was awarded the First Class of the Order of Çakar.
That afternoon, the Sultanic Couple visited the Akbar Mahal, the mausoleum of Akbar. The impressive building also provided the backdrop for a photo opportunity. The Sultanic Couple posed with the iconic building in the background.
The Sultanic Couple and the grand vizier met again at the building, where Kurum Ash-Sharqia's embassy will be housed. To the sounds of the national anthem, the flag was hoisted and the Sultan cut the ribbon.
Day 3
A trade summit was held, where businesses and governments from the two nations could meet. New technologies were presented and all kinds of agreements were signed. In the gardens of the Red Fortress, the green tent was set up and on the lawn all kinds of tables and lounges. The extended Vinandy family was invited for a family reunion. The only formal thing here was the family photo taken. Otherwise, the atmosphere was relaxed. Rank and file were let loose and heads of state romped with the children.
The Shahanshah had offered the Sultan and his half-sister a concert. She and the adults of the Vinandy family attended:
