AI justification

[Auto-resolved by learned corrector: learned-map — A=MINT/B=MINT -> MINT (human chose this in 87% of 272 past reviews)] Unilateral action undermines democratic governance despite regional diplomatic intent. | The commitment to host the PIF strengthens regional partnerships (SDG 16/17) but sets a concerning precedent for unilateral decision-making. The lack of Cabinet consultation risks eroding institutional trust and transparency, outweighing the diplomatic benefits in this context.
