The Royal Assembly in Eroncourt is on a recession leave. The Cabinet members, the Queen, and every deputy have taken a 2 week leave in April for the legislative spring recession. The Queen had traveled to the Avienne ® resort in Rildanor, most deputies stayed in Lourenne as well as few cabinet members. Foreign Minister Capét is one of those cabinet members in Lourenne. Madame Capét has spent her leave in Parmentier, an oceanside city in Outannais that has beautiful beaches, amazing tourist attractions, and is also the location of Orléans Naval Station Base. Madame Capét was interviewed at the Cuactalal Preserve Hotel and did not answer to questions, instead, she gave the press a lengthy summary of the nation's affairs which has been provided below:
What I will tell you is this: Our nation is calm and we are comfortable with how things are at the moment. We redirect to have a peace conference with Ntoto and the DU soon. We hope that will go well. We are still fiercely involving ourselves in Canrille. The Ministry of Defense is currently planning military training with Canrille and Keymon, so our military still be quite busy. Also, we expect to see Ex-Valruzian Foreign Affairs Minister Pilarczyk in Valois to discuss a regional fight against the harmful substances that Kalistan's ODEN produces. We have stated that we want to better our relationship with Kalistan, but we will never agree with ODEN and the countries that they supply. It's very sad to see that no other country has denounced their wrongdoing and the harm that they are doing to people. While we look forward to cooperation with Kalistan, we cannot accept their drug exporting ways. That's all from me, Thank you. Leave.

Kazulian Prime Minister Hanevold visits Lourenne, South Seleya

Government Complex in Eroncourt

Early this month, Statminister (Prime Minister) of Kazulia, Markus Hanevold, visited Lourenne in attempts to further enhance cooperation with all Canrillaise Nations. Statsminister Hanevold landed in Eroncourt International Airport early in the morning after departing Kazulia. After the arrival, he was quickly transported to the government complex in the old part if the city where he met with various Lourennais officials such as her Excellency the Crown Representative Catherine LaSalle and Chancellor Bouvier. Hanevold, LaSalle, and Bouvier met in the Cabinet Hall Building to the left of the Royal Assembly and right from the National Conference Building. Here, the Kazulian Prime Minister also met each cabinet member as their offices and meeting rooms are located in this building. According to Crown Representative Catherine LaSalle: " members of the cabinet got along very well with Prime Minister Hanevold and were excited to host him in the cabinet building. Usually visitors from other nations are hosted at the National Conference Building, but considering the close relationship Eroncourt holds with Skalm exceptions we're made. At the meeting between Madame Bouvier, Her Excellency LaSalle, and Prime Minister Hanevold, talks were held in order to expand on a treaty of free trade and mutual security between Kazulia and Lourenne. Both countries immediately agreed on terms and specifics and have sent it to their legislation for a formal vote.

Economic talks were also an important matter during the visit. Members of Sorthamnmetall accompanied Prime Minister Hanevold to Lourenne and expressed interest in opening refineries in Lourenne and Kanjor. The members of the Ministry of Trade and Infrastructure believed that this would be a smart move by Lourenne and a beneficial one to Kazulia as the Lourennais Mining Industry is experiencing problems and could use foreign investments. Problems from the mining industry are not as a result of mineral shortages rather a result of weak administration and finance control. The Kazulians also stated that Korsmo Telekom "could offer a range of capabilities" when referring to Lourenne's Environmental Portfolio and the expansion to acquire and create more efficient and green energy sources.TLG Écolgie And Technologie Astéria have been more pleased to hear the statements from the Kazulians firms and believe that major cooperation efforts could create the first "Smart Cities" in Dovani. Major companies in Lourenne are hopeful for cooperation with Kazulia and others are worried that companies will fail and hurt the economy if Kazulians do not expend to Lourenne, yet many people are confident that Kazulia will help Canrille to a limited extent, not only Lourenne.

Minister of Defense Iztapalata to lead Lourennais peace delegation to Kalistan

Minister of Defense Pascal Iztapalata (below)
Image

Recently, Kalistan has elected Al-Khali to the Kalistani presidency after tge shocking legislative defeat of the Socialist Party nearly three years ago. The newly elected president has stated that he would like to finally accomplish peace with Lourenne after the years of tensions that both countries have faced. His words did not fall on deaf ears. Immediately after hearing this news the Minister of Defense Iztapalata, a Orinco-Canrillaise native, decided that he will finally go to Kalistan and end the tensions once and for all. Minister Iztapalata stated that :

it's about time to finally reach peace with Kalistan. Enough is enough. We can no longer sit in a dark age and yell at each other every time one of us breathes. I believe it's tome to revitalise the Anantonese and get some **** done together.

Minister Iztapalata has stated that he will travel to Kaliburg for hopefully a final peace conference along with the Mayor of Valois Joan De Masson and Minister of Trade and Industry, Séverine Delaune. The delegation has been specifically picked by the Ministry Defense as they believe that Lourenne will be well represented by wach delegate. Joan de Masson, the Mayor of Valois, will be representing peace at the conference. As mayor of Lourenne's largest city, de Masson has had a neutral stand point to many of Lourenne's involvement in any wars and declares that Valois is a city were peace prospers and anyone can reside in. The Minister of Trade and Industry Séverine Delaune will be representing economics at the conference. If talks go absolutely well between Kalistan and Lourenne, Madame Delaune will not hesitate to negotiate economic deals and investments with the Kalistanis. Minister Iztapalata has stated tha the Lourennais delegation will go to Kaliburg in October of 4436 and will be protected by the Royal Navy in the Anantonese while on their way. Lourenne will have officials representing peace, economics, and defense in Kaliburg at the upcoming meeting. They hope that Kalistan will do the same.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs updates Queen and King on Recent World Affairs at a Royal Residency

Palais de Jacinto (below)
Image

This month minster of Foreign Affairs Thérèse Capét traveled to Bord du Monde to update King Landry and Queen Isabelle on the nation's standing on global affairs. The King and the Queen are currently in their residency at Le Palais Jacinto in Bord du Monde. The King and Queen are on a short recession from their duties in Eroncourt and Lac des Lumières. Secretaries and Deputies from the ministry arrived with haste as result of multiple events that have happened in the past year. Upon arrival, King Landry did not expect for government officials to bother them during their break. He was the last one to be briefed. The Queen, however, felt the urge to respond and quickly sat down to talk with the ministry. According to members of the ministry who spoke with the queen and king, the ministry focused on several points such as the opening of a MUN base in Dankuk and the new peace conference between Kalistan and Lourenne. Both matters were urgent to the royals and they presented a response to the ministry which will not be released to the press.

After leaving the Royal Residency, Madame Capét herself gave the press her own statement on the current events that were discussed with The Queen and the King. LMadame Capet stated that " the base in Dankuk is foolish. Just foolish. Also, It doesn't make sense that Dankuk is a member of the Non-Aligned Movement. YET, it has a MUN base in its country. How does that make sense?! Kalistan is being used in my opinion. We are disappointing that Kalistan hasn't made a move. They should be kicked immediately. Kalistan must do it, or they movement would be futile and pointless. We will be vigilant but not overly worried thank you."

Lourenne respond to Vanukean "Nuclear Sabre-Rattling"
Foreign Affairs Minister, Thérèse Capét during legislative session (below)
Image

The Royal Assembly in Eroncourt today held an important session along with members of the cabinet, the Queen's Vicereine Madame LaSalle, and Chancellor Bouvier to discuss and bring into debate the possibilities of Vanuku's recent nuclear sabre-rattilng. The complete government session was held at the Royal Assembly building at the government complex. Introducing the issue to the Assembly was Minister of Foreign Affairs Thérèse Capét and the rest of the ministry. Previously, Madame Capét commented on the issue of a MUN base in Majatra while updating the Queen, however, the need to respond to "nuclear bombers" in Dankuk was also dire and Important. The deputies in the Royal Assembly set out options on what Lourenne could do to end any Majatran influence in the north. Discussions began with talks of embargos, troop readiness, and diplomatic resolutions. An undecided legislation led to an undecided response. Madame Capét stepped in to consult the somewhat lost assembly on the foreign affairs ministry's decision. Madame Capét concluded:
This is another moment in our time that questions amd tests our ability to act properly. What I say is this, Vanuku's acts only represent their "irresponsible nature" to act as a nation. Yes, they may be very close to our nation, but they are putting themselves in a situation they do not seem to comprehend at the moment. What we need to do is act with patience and intelligent. I propose that we convene and discuss options with our allies in the Northern Council before we do anything that may compromise security. We will find a reasonable way to respond to this issue with our allies. We will not allow our neutral neighbors become a playground for Vanuku and their allies.

Queen Isabelle Responds to Kalistani Premier after "Northern Council" Antagonization
Image
Queen Isabelle I responds to the comments of Kalistani Premier, Al-Khali.

Live from Lac des Lumières, I am David Sepelxa and This week on Inside the Monarchy, we listen to Queen Isabelle give her response to Premier Al-Khali after his comments on an "Antagonizing Northern Council" Are these signs of a frustrated country looking for power? Or does Al-Khali need to drop the potty mouth? Here are Queen Isabelle's comments to Kalistan!

I am not at all surprised by Kalistan. I do not understand how they see the Northern Council as "Antagonizing". First, the Northern Council are not imperialists. We seek peace, security, and prosperity in the Northern hemisphere. Something Kalistan should try and aim for.

Second, any nation has the right to conduct military exercises. The Northern Council held exercises in the Mad Dog Ocean near Keymon. This is nowhere near Kalistan nor were they mentioned at all. The NC did but antagonize Kalistan at all, but please may I bring the point up that Kalistan heldmilitary training and exercises with Lodamun in the Anantonese. Did Lourenne blade them for it? Did Kazulia do anything? Did the NC react? No. It's okay for Kalistan to have exercises but not the Northern Council? Completely and utterly ridiculous.

This makes us question Kalistan and our conference for. For my part, I do not want our peace negotiations to end at all, but with the way the Premier is acting, peace seems far away. To that attention, they have invited Vanuku back to Kalistan. I will tell you this, If Vanuku returns to Kalistan peace negotiations will almost certainly fail. We do not hold great relations with Vanuku and that will most likely not change. If Vanuku arrives on the shores of the Anantonese, we will have problems.

Speaking of which, It is rather confusing to see Kalistan supposedly neutral and "non-aligned" aligning with Vanuku. The hypocrisy of Kalistan roams in their own Foreign Policy. We simply do not understand. If Kalistan truly wants to see change and peace in the Anantonese, please control the Premier and live up to your own ideals of non-alignment and peace between Lourenne and Kalistan.


And that is all folks. Very intimidating and truthful response from her Majesty indeed. The question now is, Will Kalistan want peace? Or risk their own security by bringing in Vanuku to Kalistan? Until next time on Inside the Monarchy
