[DIPLOMACY] Senegal - C.A.R Joint Training Exercise DIPLOMACY

With the Cold War raging on, Senegal sees the need to make friends, and it seems there is a perfect nation for this task. The Central African Republic, rapidly building itself up to becoming an Equatorial African power, seems to match Senegal in stability and policy, and so, the two nations have agreed to joint military exercises to take the first step towards friendship.

President Senghor remarks, 'In a fast-changing world of rivalries and intrigue, companions are needed to come out of this Cold War unharmed. We have chosen one of the most stable countries to become acquainted with, and here is to hopefully more cooperation between our two states.'

This doesn't seem like the first step of diplomatic relations between these two growing states, and their united dislike of communism will let them bond even more.
