Egelion

[Louis]

---

Following a most successful visit by the Anantonese Empress last month, Altean diplomats have discussed the importance of rekindled relations between Kalistan and Egelion. The Empress' visit, which came after the Foreign Minister visited just days before, was well-received by the entire court. Official proceedings were held at Sorsuela Palace instead of Villamor due to the Emperor's willingness to create a more amiable experience for the empress rather than an official government duty.

The Empress was well-liked by palace staff and court members, including the Royal Court. She was poised, well-educated, and pragmatically spoke with the Emperor over the recent tensions between both empires. At the conclusion of the meeting, the emperor announced that the old Ocean Accords signed decades ago by both nation, was reaffirmed. Egelion and Kalistan would again continue to seek a close Anantonese partnership while respecting communications and decision making. It lead to conversation about security and military cooperation. According to sources, Emperor Leon Alexander had a realization and further policy discussions with his Royal Court after the empress departed: Anantonese Exceptionalism.

Emperor Leon Alexander worked with the IDE and Castillo Garibaldi to prepare a long agenda for a future Anantonese exclusive conference, where several regional states would come together to create a regional bloc based on cooperation and security. The emperor announced this conference at Villamor Palace, where he personally invited the governments of Kalistan, Lodamun, New Endralon, Nadiya, Valruzia, and Gaduridos to Altea to take part in the generational conference. Royal Councilor Mondragon was asked to comment on the emperor's initiative. She stated:

"We have a clean slate with Kalistan at the moment and hold good relations with all the invited countries. I think it is time we all set common ground and work for a larger regional alliance that guarantees our principle of defense, cooperation, and security. We are all working on similar military projects and seem to understand our foreign policies on a deeper level. I think it is time we finally come together and create a larger organization where we can collectively secure our region and our interests." 

The meeting is planned within three years. It is said to take place at Palacio Concordia in central Altea. It is a large meeting that will bring several heads of state together for the creation of a new Anntonese/Seleyan bloc.
