Conference on Artanian Relations in Ikradon
Minister Boekhouwer hosts foreign dignitaries
MAGRATHEA, MAY 2965
The Department of Foreign Affairs, and the concerned Minister, Minister Dai Boekhouwer, has invited all 12 nations to the Conference on Artanian Relations at the ArteMusica PLF-2609 Coliseum of Culture, Arts & Music of the Socialist Republic, which Minister Perez stated that it will soon "be renamed 'Hall of Artania'."
The long-term goal of the conference is to "make all nations of Artania closer culturally, judicially, economically, ecologically, trade-wise and any other area where we can work together." For now, the minister "would try to focus on our [Artania] culture, language and try to better relations via cultural, musical or sporting events."
Artania has always flirted with closer and better relations, with former Minister of Foreign Affairs Madinkov and Artanis once having talks with Ikradon's neighbours. Another effort was the 'Artanian Coalition of Nation' initiative, which mainly is a political group, but tries to work on the international and formal front between nations.
Commissar DiYan Ji, of the Department of Foreign Affairs, spoke to us about what we may expect from the conference. "Events, Artanian events." said the Commissar, adding that "one way to start bettering relations and enhancing cooperation is starting with non-political inter-Artanian events. Sporting-events, cultural fairs, Artanian concerts. Maybe even inter-Artanian challenges between schools, universities, sporting clubs." Commissar Ji also said that "Ikradon will try to work with other nations, on the trade-front, as Ikradon holds a prosperous bay, and lost of seaports, that we could help other countries with their imports."
The Conference on Artanian Relation is to start in July 2965, with several participating countries already confirming their presence. Minister Boekhouwer herself will participate and host the conference.
OOC: Also, thank Comrade Helix I'll try my best!
