Socialist Party and Foreign Ministry of Kalistan welcomes Gaduri Officials
Ananto City, Kalistan
September 27, 3293


Foreign Minister Jones spoke, in June on the Anti-Militarization bill in the Kalistani Assembly.  He issued a statement welcoming Gaduri officials to Kalistan yesterday.

The Foreign Minister of Kalistan, and member of the Socialist Party Frank Edward Jones issued the following statement today on the event of the successful conclusion of the Keymon Crisis

We welcome the news of the victory over the forces of totalitarianism on the Island of Keymon.  It was a hard fought victory, and for now, the island of Keymon has been restored to freedom.  Only the eternal vigilance of Keymon's allies, however, will ensure that:  as a small island in the middle of an ocean, Keymon could easily become prey to another malevolent force.  Those who fought so brilliantly on Keymon should realize an ongoing duty to her survival and security.

On the event of Gaduri official visits to Kalistan, we welcome you, as always.  Our Party's militia has been re-legalized by a brilliant, and might I add, just vote in the Assembly, and we now reorganize under the light of the sun once more.  We will organize a review in honor of their visit through the heart of the old Capital at Kaliburg, home of the Socialist Party, and will appreciate the fraternal visit from the heads of Gaduri State and Government.

We also welcome the news of the peace talks to get underway.  Kalistan lost thousands in the conflict, and while we seek no role in the conference, having only participated a short time, we do hope that the settlement is one that promotes peace, understanding, but most importantly, reconciliation of the warring factions.  The conflict was not ours:  we were brought into it by the actions of our President, who committed Kalistan's military and then did not support the conflict at home.  The Socialist Party stepped up to fulfill Kalistan's word to its friends in that event, and were badly wounded as a result.  The long and the short of it is, Kalistan holds no malice toward anyone.  The primary fault of the wounds to our militia and to our county was our own, for getting involved in the first place.  Kalistan is a nation of peace:  As long as the Socialist Party has been active, since 2591, Kalistan has only ever fought with itself.  Our first international adventure in 702 years went awry.  That mistake won't be soon repeated.  We wish all Parties good luck in their peace talks, and hope for the best outcome, that considers everyone's interest, and does not punish the losers of the conflict more than justice demands.
