After convening an emergency meeting of the Ministries of State, Chancellor Legard has announced that "After reviewing energy policy, strategic concerns and alternative sources it is the opinion of the Novean Government that the Fornirian blockade is inhumane, unjustified and harmful to international peace. As such the Novean Merchant ships with their Eraphalian escorts will continue onwards regardless of the blockade, so as to secure the thorium that is strategically vital to the people of Noveaux." The Chancellor refused questions at the press briefing.
