Surin nodded thoughtfully. “Perhaps this is the path we must take to fully realize the potential of our bilateral relationship. As nations, we’ve navigated many challenges, so it’s only natural that we’ll find ways to work together effectively.” He paused, his tone reflective yet pragmatic. “That said, I have outlined all the plans I prepared for today. The next steps depend on whether your side has additional proposals, given the constraints we currently face. Our Department will have extensive coordination ahead as a result of this meeting.” He smiled, a gesture of both reassurance and determination.

"I think we've covered all that we wish to cover in this meeting now. All of those agreements will be deposited into the National Archives of Australia (Department of Communications and the Arts). We will get our relationship re-assessed by DFAT as one which is negative to one which is now neutral. Though don't let that misguide you. We will disagree where we must, cooperate where we can. That is the mantra we will take with Thailand. We're still a western-aligned power and the United States is still our primary military partner."

Surin chuckled warmly as the meeting concluded. “That is precisely the kind of relationship we seek, Mr. Farrell—disagree where we must, cooperate where we can. A partnership founded on sovereign equality. Any nation that rejects such a relationship disregards the core principles of both the United Nations and the Global Assembly.” With a wry smile, he rose, extending a firm yet respectful handshake. “Thank you both for today’s meeting and this wonderful beverage. Let’s hope this marks the beginning of something meaningful. I suspect the media will have a field day.” He laughed lightly and departed, his stride confident as he returned to Thailand.
