President Foster tells supporters Kalistan is 'open for business'
Foreign Minister Jean-Baptiste Fabian has confirmed earlier reports that his counterpart from the Federation of Zardugal will arrive in Kalistan in the coming days. Following a visit to Kalistan's new-found ally Istalia, Yasmin Won will be greeted in the capital by not only the Foreign Minister but President of the Republic Franklin Foster as he continues to campaign for re-election. Won's visit is believed to be part of a wider strategy to re-engage Zardugal, which once an international heavyweight, with nations across Terra. Speaking to a rally about the visit, the President remarked;
As we all know, Zardugal has seen its position in the world shrink in recent times, as successive governments neglected the importance of healthy international relationships. Nonetheless, it delights me that Ms. Won views Kalistan as a nation of such importance that she has chosen us as the destination for one of her first state visits as Foreign Minister. I sincerely hope everybody involved will ensure that she has a comfortable but productive and beneficial trip. As I have repeatedly stated, Kalistan is a country which is open for business and we will work with any nation which shows a genuine desire for collaboration.
Won will spend her first few days embracing to Kalistani culture and being shown the vast plethora of activities and locations of cultural interest across Ananto. As is traditional, she will be invited to witness a demolition derby on Sunday before beginning a series of meetings and conferences with the Kalistani government. Defence Minister Laura Michelakakis, in particular, is said to be excited by the prospect of a blossoming relationship with Zardugal, as she attempts to ensure Kalistan maintains a sufficiently well-equipped and well-trained military.
