Foreign Relations of Horadum

Horadum follows a largely independent foreign policy, with strong affiliations with states that aided the independence struggle, including New Prussia and Anvard. Horadum has been involved in minor conflicts following its independence with countries such as Comintern and Mathilia.

Aethiopian Empire
Horadum maintains an embassy in Meroe. During the Italian occupation of Horadum, Aethiopia was one of the country’s leading proponents abroad; Aethiopia and Anvard were the first two states to bring the question of independence of Horadum to the United Nations.

In 2013, the two governments signed an agreement which expanded air travel between the two states. In March 2013, Horadum’s Foreign Minister, David Bush, met with the Aethiopian Foreign Affairs Minister, Niyela Mesfinna, and noted the economic, science and technical agreements in place between the two countries and expressed a desire to improve trade relations.

Anvard
Anvardian-Horadium relations date back to the Horadium War of Independence when Anvard politically, militarily and diplomatically supported the Horadium rebel organisation and future ruling party, the People’s Union, against the military of Imperial Italy. Since independence, Horadum and Anvard have held joint meetings every two years for economic, scientific and commercial cooperation. In 2013, it was reported that around 5’000 Anvardian professionals were working in Horadum at the time of independence.
