Princess of the Empire Mary Ananto-DeLaurentis and FM Thomas Harney depart Kaliburg on redeye to Aikums

Her Highness, the Princess of the Empire Mary Ananto-DeLaurentis and Her Imperial Majesty's Foreign Minister, Sir Thomas Harney left Kaliburg early this morning to Dolgava and then further to Hutori. The visit is meant to reignite relations between Kalistan and the two northern allies, and was commissioned by Her Highness, Princess Regent Nicolette Ananto-Connor, who sought to remain in Kaliburg. It will also include discussions on the expansion of the Non-Aligned Movement, which is aimed at containing the expansion of global minded power blocs.

"Her Highness the Princess Regent dispatched the Princess of the Empire and the Foreign Minister to these two important nations primarily on good will visits," said Chancellor of the Empire, Lady Ericka Donahue, in Kaliburg. "The Foreign Minister has been keen to follow up with the crown in Aikums after this summer's military exercises, and specifically he wants to continue talks with the Dolgavan crown about deeper cooperation over intelligence and security sharing in the region, as Dolgava is rapidly reclaiming its place as one of Kalistan's main security partners." The Chancellor also said that the two representatives of Her Imperial Majesty's Government will spend time in country and get to know the other main actors in the Queen's new government.

"From Dolgava, the pair will travel to Hutori, where they will meet with Queen Ariana of Hutori and her husband, the King Consort David Alvarez-Ananto, to discuss several important matters, including things related to House Ananto," said the Chancellor, who refused to elaborate. "Her Imperial Majesty, Empress in Waiting Carolina-Katherine Michelle Ananto-Connor will gain the titles of Duchess of Ice Haven and Grand Duchess of the Isle of Sutton in Hutori, and part of the visit will be to check in on the Demesne, and work with local lords and representatives of the people there to prepare for the eventuality of a new Liege. The Hutori and Kalistani Royal families have, in many ways grown very close personally, and whether in Kalistan or in Hutori, personal visits like these are always a must."

The Chancellor said in all the two would be out of the country for the better part of two weeks. "Schedule permitting, Her Highness may have them both stop in in Nowagard Valruzia as well, on their way back home, to visit with President Urzsula Pawlik in Valruzia. I am almost certain that the Princess of the Empire has not been to Valruzia, but she mentioned she would like to see the nation at some point, and it will be a great opportunity to continue conversations about the procurement of multi-role fighter planes currently under development with our Western Seleyan ally." The Chancellor noted that the visit to Valruzia will happen if scheduled can be coordinated with the Valruzian counterparts, but otherwise, it is likely that the Kalistanis will remain in Hutori an extra day before returning home.

Lady Victoria Jensen is accompanying Her Highness the Princess of the Empire.

The trip is under the aegis of Her Imperial Majesty's Foreign Ministry, and will be the Foreign Minister's first major trip outside of Seleya.
