Treaty of Economic & Military Cooperation (1975)

The Treaty of Economic & Military Cooperation was a treaty signed between Airedalandia and Valhunnia on December 11th, 1975 in the Valhunnian capital of Kyro. It laid-out the framework for what would in time become a fruitful, productive relationship that continues to this day. According to its preamble, the aim was to "ensure that relationship between Airedalandia and Valhunnia shall not be hampered by such obstacles as tariffs and should instead be one of mutual benefit and respect."

The treaty abolished all tariffs between the nations and also set forth the structure for research agreements between the to nations, some of which are ongoing. Through what has become an extraordinary relationship, the two nations have gone so far as to share military intelligence and to cooperate on some defence projects, such as the Griffen C fighter jet, when Airedalandia assisted with fitting the superb Valhunnian Aerospace Griffin with an improved avionics suite.
