Spokeswoman for Their Imperial Majesties confirm details of upcoming Imperial Visit to Kundrati

The gradual thawing of relations between Kalistan and their former nemesis, Kundrati has taken a major step forward. The preliminary visit by Their Imperial Majesties Foreign Minister, Henry Greene and the Government of Kundrati less than a year ago has opened the door for a full Official visit by Their Imperial Majesties, Emperor Fredrick IV Ananto and Empress Jennifer I Ananto later next month. The visit is expected to include stops in Etxea, where the Kalistani Monarchs will tour battlefield memorials as well as the site of the Former Ananto residence on the Island which was owned by Emperor Fredrick II Ananto and the Black Empress, Pavlina I Ananto. It will then include a tour of the countryside in Kundrati where Their Imperial Majesties will be able to visit several local villages and farmsteads that are recovering from the war, and finally a stop in Kasaema, where they will meet with President Alaiza Kubitchek, several members of the Kundrati Government, and, in an interesting sidenote, members of the Hulanevek family of Kundrati, to whom His Imperial Majesty is related.

"Also scheduled for the visit is Foreign Minister Greene, and I also believe the Minor Princelings will also travel to Kundrati," said Lady Amber Dawson, spokeswoman for the Monarchs. "Their Imperial Majesties both feel that it is important for their children to become familiarized with Kundrati, so that a bond with the nation may be begun, and they won't see Kundrati automatically as an enemy." Lady Dawson also confirmed that Her Highness the Princess of the Empire Mary Ananto-DeLaurentis will not be on the trip as she will be opening the House in Playa de Paz for the season, nor will Her Highness Princess Nicolette Ananto-Collins travel with the family, as her personal schedule will not allow it at this time of year. "The Princess said she fully intends to travel abroad to Kundrati next summer with her husband if this trip goes well," said Lady Dawson. She also confirmed that she too will be travelling with the Royal Family to Kundrati.

The Imperial Spokeswoman also noted that part of the goal will be to announce a trade and aid package to the Kundrati government aimed at helping them in their reconstruction and modernization efforts which have been ongoing for nearly two decades. "Besides the more than 1 Bn Imperial Rubles Kalistan has already committed to Kundrati in grants and credits, Kalistan also will be sending about as much in direct aid in the form of construction materials for houses and infrastructure within the nation, and additional aid in the form of a photovoltaic/Solar power foundation to begin producing green energy in the Nation. Not only will this provide solar power to Kundrati, but will also reinvigorate the PV industry here in Kalistan." The Spokeswoman also noted that Kalistan will be working with the government on a long term project aimed at reinvigorating the Kundrati telecommunications and internet framework, most of which was destroyed before and during the war.

"Kalistan genuinely looks forward to rebuilding the trust and affinity our two nations held for one another that predated the rise of the Legion in Kundrati. The Visit by Their Imperial Majesties will be a huge step toward that commitment. Not only in that it provides Kalistan with a new friend in Artania, but the mission is also personal for His Imperial Majesty, who seeks to close the circle with the land of his family's ancestry. His Imperial Majesty wants to teach his children to value and respect the Kundrati heritage in his family, as they do the Kalistani heritage, and sees that sort of diversity in his own bloodline as a strength for the Imperial Family. This historic visit is going to change the trajectory of history for our two nations forever." The aid package is expected to be approved in the National Assembly by the end of this month, in advance of the visit.
