February 5685 (backdated)



Kalistan's Foreign Minister Greene and Luthorian Prime Minister Parker-Stanford met in an impromptu meeting yesterday at Fort William. The Foreign Minister, stopping by Luthori to meet with the Kalistani Ambassador in Luthori, reportedly received an invitation from the Prime Minister's Office at 10 Crown Street for a private meeting between the two individuals.

Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs Marchal today confirmed the news that were leaked from an unknown source at 10 Crown Street's press. PM Parker-Stanford and Foreign Minister Greene met for approximately 45 minutes at the Prime Minister's Office.

According to the leak, the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister mostly discussed around the situation in the peace process and nation-building in New Endralon and Kizenia and the recent announcement of Kalistani support towards the Kundrati state, weeks after the Prime Minister himself expressed his 'willingness' at meeting Kundrati officials in a state visit.

According to Crown Street, the discussion between Mr. Greene and Mr. Parker-Stanford were primarily focused "engaging productive dialogue" between the two capitals. For the Luthorian government, this is exactly what this meeting acheived, with Luthori stating that "productive, truthful and factual discussions about the common relationship shared by nations and their role in international affairs" was the main aim of its foreign policy.

For Foreign Secretary Marchal, who didn't have the opportunity to meet with Foreign Minister Greene himself, this conversation between the two leaders was a "positive development" for the "future state of world politics".

Moreover, according to him, it is important that nations such as Kalistan and Luthori are ready to come up at the table to discuss of current worrying trends in the world. He stressed that "worldwide cooperation between states in order to have information on their position on numerous hot points in foreign policy" was paramount to the success of the current world order.

Marchal reiterated the position of Prime Minister Parker-Stanford on a potential meeting with Kundrati, saying that the Luthorians were "ready" for "peace and cooperation" and that the "ball was on Kundrati's hands".

This meeting happened as worldwide worries about the state of the world were beginning to show off, on one end, tensions in the Holy Land with terrorist attacks becoming a daily occurence of life there and fighting in New Endralon having ceased but the peace negotiations being riddled with tensions between the main actors of the conflict.

According to George Doll, International Law Professor at the University of Fort William, tensions in peace talks were first caused by the difficulty of recognising the intent of some powers involved at the peace negotiations, whether it is to dismantle NEK for their own "irredentist" ideals or genuinely try to keep the nation together after the invasion had ended.

"Nobody knows anyone's intentions here. Is it acting as a guarantor of stability and national sovereignty or act in a way that doesn't reflect these objectives at all."

The Foreign Secretary stated that Luthori "isn't involved in the peace process nor has it any intentions of involving itself into it", according to the Department of Foreign Affairs, Luthori's trust in the "judgment and foresight" of the powers involved remains intact. 

Nonetheless, it seems that the Keris Crisis seems to have one benefit for Luthorian statemen, that of expressing goodwill towards Kalistan, whose relationship with the Luthorians has been ambivalent at best.

A little musical touch, according to our reports, the Kalistani Foreign Minister expressed his appreciation for the Luthorian musicians who have greatly contributed to Kalistani music industry and as well, expressed his support for increased contacts between the two states.
