Hobrazian Foreign minister visits Luthori

Postby first » Fri May 29, 2009 7:10 pm

The Hobrazian Foreign Minister Alexandra Neesam boarded the plane that would take her from the capital of Hobrazia to the capital of Luthori. The flight would only take a few hours and she was already looking forward to the reception she might recieve. The purpose of the visist she knew was to foster good relations between the two nations following the days of Nova Terras regime in hobrazia where relations had soured. She was keen for the mission to succede, keen for the two nations to once more be allies as they were.

The flight departed Astoria International on time, as she sat looking out the wondow over the clear endless sky, she began to wonder what some people in hobrazia would think of her visit at the current time, given that some parties within Hobrazia still remain opposed to any sort of relationship with an axis member country. The wondering soon stopped as her phone rang, it was Penolpe Cleverly her deputy back at the foreign ministry:

AN: Hello
PC: Hello foreign minister
AN: Ah Penolpe what can i do for you
PC: We have had reports that the URP have stepped down en masse from the imperial congress and that they have withdraw from Hobrazian politics
AN: Well that is surprising, given that they enjoyed giving me a hard time (Some laughter)
PC: Well at present they are only reports, but i shall keep you informed
AN: Thank you, bye
PC: bye foreign minister

Not long after the phone call the phone tannoy went, "We are now crossing the Hobrazian-Luthori border", with a sigh of relief Alexandra Neesam settled in her chair and waited to land.

Shortly after the phone call, the plane landed in a private area of Fort William International Airport. A large reception committee was waiting outside the plane, composed notably of Prime Minister Sir Ralph Madison and League Spokesman Lord Edward Bane. The foreign minister descended the flight of steps that took her out of her plane and onto the tarmack. The Prime Minister and Spokesman, along with other dignitaries walked towards the foreign minister. Having read about Luthori custom during her flight, Alexandra Neesam extended her hand, which the Prime Minister kissed, as was traditional.

-"Welcome to the Luthori Empire, Madam, I hope you had a pleasant flight?"
-"I did indeed have a pleasant flight, thank you."
-"You must be exhausted, my staff will immediately take you to your hotel, we will commence diplomatic procedures tomorrow, if you don't mind."
-"Indeed I am quite tired, thank you Sir Madison."

The Prime Minister smiled and after a quick bow, turned towards a large black limousine that had been parked near the plane. Lord Edward Bane pointed the foreign minister and her staff towards a group of luxurious cars parked near the Prime minister's automobile. The Foreign Minister entered the car and the group drove off.

-"We will be staying at the "Duke of Yodukan" hotel, which is right near the Parliament, said one of the foreign minister's staff.

The limousine quickly cruised on the massive highway that linked the airport to the center of the city. When the convoy arrived down town, the minister saw a peculiar yet tasteful fusion of traditional and modern, with sky scrapers belnding with XXth century buildings. Finaly, the foreign minister arrived at her hotel to rest.

The foreign minister left the car that had shown her some of the splendid delights of the city, she gazed and the immense presence that was the hotel. Clad with some ornate features, she though to her self that it looked expensive, however she was just glad to be somewhere where she could relax after the journey and prepare herself for the diplomatic efforts the following day. She entered the building into what can only be described as a brilliant marble and gold reception, decorated with some of the finest things money could buy. She did not have to much time to stop and look as she was quickly guided to the lift that would take her to her room on the top floor. As she entered the room the first thing that struck her was the amazing view from the top, she could see over the government area of the city as well as out towards the sprawling suburbs. She could see from another view the glittering skyscrappers, lit up with thousands of lights of various colurs, from blue to yellow, to red. The skyline was truely impressive, she turned to one of the porters that had carried her lugage

'the view is amazing but i must admit Astoria City is more impressive', of course she could never admit that it wasn't. She gave the porters a tip for their kind service and walked over to the bedroom, closing the door behind her to keep the 2 security guards she must take with her on foreign visit due to the remaining fears of Nova Terran assassination out of sight. She slipped into her night dress and got into the large bed, she picked up the phone next to the large bed and made an international call back to Hobrazia, to wish her husband good night, the one advantage being that the two nations are on the same time zones.

She placed the phone back on the side and settled into bed, falling asleep quickly waiting for the next day and the diplomacy to begin.

Shortly after breakfeast the following morning, a limousine similar to the one that was used the day of arrival brought the foreign minister and her escort to the Imperial Parliament, a massive building of the Gothic style located on the Agathion River. Several government employees guided Mrs. Neesam through the great halls of the Parliament towards the Prime Minister's office. When they finaly arrived, one of the intendants knocked and the foreign minister entered the room.

The Prime Minister's office was a richly decorated and supremely elegant room, hosting several paintings of Luthori artists and a large desk covered with papers. The Prime Minister immediately stood up as soon as the foreign minister had entered:

-"Madam welcome, please sit down!"
-"Good morning Prime Minister."
-"I hope you rested well."
-"Quite so, thank you. This office is beautifull!"
-"Why thank you, a gift from His Majesty, the late Emperor Henry I. Now lets get down to business. I heard that the URP has recently decided to leave Hobrazian politics, this may turn out to your advantage."
-"Possibly so, yes"
-"Anyway, our two nations are already allied by the Belgon Treaty militarily, however, it is my wish that Luthori and Hobrazia sign a free trade agreement, to even further increase the relations between our two countries ... and also, perhaps your party would like to propose again the ratifaction of the Axis treaty?"

The Prime Minister paused and awaited the Foreign Minister's answer.

Alexandra looked at the Prime Minister intently:

"I as foreign minister of Hobrazia have a duty to ensure the well being of the nation and people of Hobrazia outside its borders, we as a government see that as meaning to build friendly relations with all our neighbours and those nations that would like friendly relations with us. We of course look to have close allies, and we hope that Luthori can be counted as such already, we of course would be glad to further strengthen such alliances with free trade and i in my role will of course resubmit a bill seeking ratification of the axis agreement, so that Hobrazia may rejoin the fold." She paused "can i quickly use my phone", the prime minister nodded and she quickly took her mobile from her pocket, typed rapidly at the keys and put the phone away, "sorry about that, just had to quickly send a message forgot this morning", the prime minister questioned joked, "checking on your husband?", they both laughed slightly.

The foreign secretary then said "we best get back to business"

---The message sent on the foreign minister phone said---

As the Foreign Minister of Hobrazia and the Luthori Prime Minister continued their conversation, the Luthori Foreign Minister, Richard Larkins, entered the room.

"Mrs Neesam, it is a pleasure to be meeting you," he said. "I apologise profusely for not greeting you at the airport, but I wasn't actually informed of your intentions to visit." Larkins glared at the Prime Minister. "A miscommunication I presume."

"Firstly, may I say that I'm relieved to see that Hobrazian politics is returning to normality. It is pleasing to be resuming friendly relations with our neighbour."

"Now, I will let you and the Prime Minister continue with your meeting, I won't take up any more of your time. I hope that you and I will have the opportunity to speak again before you depart back home. I believe a meeting between the two of us, as Foreign Ministers, to officially draft new treaties and agreements agreed upon by yourself and the Prime Minister would be in order."

"Again, it was a pleasure to see you."

The two foreign ministers shook hands before Larkins walked out of the room.

The foreign secretary looked at the prime minister clearly bemused by what had just happened. She spoke "i think your minister is correct, i should meet with him tomorrow to thrash things out", the prime minister smiled back and simply nodded to the request. Just then her phone made a noise, a text had arrived. She politely asked if she could quickly read it and she removed here phone from hew bag and looked at it intensively. It read 'Underway, we are hopeful'. She smiled enthusiastically and immediately looked a the PM "i think our alliance could soon be closer, we are hopeful anyway', she always had a bad habit of prejudging votes in the imperial congress, but then she was always a confident woman.

She then asked the PM if she could have a glass of water he throat had become dry.

"Well, I am certainly glad that Madam is hopefull, nothing would please me more than having the relation between our two empires further cemented by another alliance. I was not expecting the foreign minister today, but as he mentioned it, we had planned a meeting with members of the Luthori diplomatic corps, including the foreign minister, tomorrow, following the session of parliament. Yes, I had given instructions that the foreign minister be informed that you were arriving yesterday, but it seems there was a problem with our communications, I had a series of important meetings after you arrrived at the hotel yesterday. Also, I think it will be best that you further discuss our free trade agreement with the foreign minister when you meet with him."

The Prime Minister stood up and pointed and opened the door.

"We have now arranged for a press conference, as you may know, the Luthori press is dying to hear from you. If you would step right this way."

The Prime Minister and foreign secretary walked through a large hallway to a meeting room, where the two were about to make their press statements.

The foreign secretary stood firm at the microphone in front of her, gazing at the numerous faces, holding cameras and notepads that were in front of her. She began:

'I would like to thank the people of Luthori for the kind and generous welcome that i have received as well as the imperial government of Luthori for all they have done to make my stay comfortable. It is a great honour to meet with a government that has the best interests of its people at heart, a government that is aware of the needs of its people and watches closely over them to maintain their security and safety in these difficult days. We In Hobrazia have suffered, suffered at the hands of Nova Terra, but it was the kindness and friends here within Luthori that allowed the Free Hobrazia movement to succeed in its aim of protecting and restoring liberty to Hobrazia, without the support here in this great nation we would not have lasted and fought as well as we did. I thank on behalf of all Hobrazians, the people and nation of Luthori for their assistance.

I am of course now here to reaffirm our two nations commitment to each other, to enhance peace and cooperation between our two peoples, to bring them closer together so that all may prosper and may live in the knowledge that all is secure and well in this corner of Terra. With us hopeful that we can rejoin the axis, with us looking to new free trade agreements, we are moving in a direction that should be an example to all of Terra, an example that says, yes, two nations that have ha differences in that past can come together, can work together and forge a lasting peace, forge an alliance that is difficult to break. Our two nations have now coexisted peacefully for generations, helping each other in times of need, helping each other when it is requested, we have built an understanding, an understanding that i hope with my visit to reaffirm and enhance, a understanding that can be built on and improved, an understanding that can benefit both the people of Luthori and the people of Hobrazia. Long may our nations work together, long may our two nations co-operate and live in peace, i thank again the prime minister and his government for the reception and i look forward to seeing more of this great nation.'

She turned an smiled at the prime minister and waited for him to add his thoughts and comments

As soon as the foreign minister finished her speech, the crowd broke into a massive applause. Sir madison smiled and congratulated the foreign minister, before heading towards the microphone himself:

"First of all I would firstly like to congratulate the First Party of Hobrazia and the people of that fine country for their courage whilst facing tyranny. Even while Nova Terra was preparing to carve up their country into seperate pieces and to destroy what was left of it, the people of Hobrazia said no to tyranny and yes to liberty! But now, although the custodians of freedom must be ever vigilant, the dark times have ended for Hobrazia. From the destruction of Nova Terra, I am confident they will rebuild their home and as my predecessor, Lord John Rannigan said, once again be a shining beacon on the hill among the nations of the world.

It is with great joy that we have welcomed the foreign minister of Luthori and we are greatly honored by her compliments. I had a vision of Luthori and Hobrazia, two empires working side by side for the propserity and greatness of both, that was during the time of Nova Terra. Now I see that the vision I had is becoming a reality that will allow us to prosper in the future."
