Following what was initially a rather superficial import inquiry regarding steel shipments from the Office of Foreign Trade, for which companies in Davostag (among others) were being considered, Director Surfungo decided, after brief but apparently extremely cordial contact between the PKdSK and the Davostag government, to use the occasion as the basis for a full-fledged state visit. Accompanied by Commissar Mustarmakulo, Commissar Pipo, and the future Zardic ambassador to Davostag, Zafiro Boaco, they accepted the invitation to travel to the other side of the world. Of course, in keeping with Zardian tradition, a large entourage of officials from the Commissariat for Economic Affairs was also in attendance.
Day 1: Arrival at Kivonia International Airport. Welcomed by Rikspresident Rasmus Nyström. Commissars Mustarmakulo and Pipo are already meeting with their Davostagian counterparts. Military honors and full diplomatic ceremony for the director. Afterward, the delegation is handed over to the care of Prime Minister Knudson, followed by talks between the delegations.
Around 2:00 p.m., a press conference is held to present the results of the negotiations by Rikspremier Björn Knudson and Director Zakario Surfungo: Davostag will supply Zardugal with fixed quantities of steel in exchange for fixed quantities of explosives needed for iron mining. In addition, companies based in Davostag will, until further notice, receive licenses to negotiate freely with Zardic foreign trade conglomerates. The import of chemical and pharmaceutical goods is a particular focus here. The stated goal is to establish lasting trade relations. In addition to economic matters, diplomatic relations would, of course, also be formalized through the exchange of embassies. During the meeting, Director Surfungo repeatedly and slyly referred to President Nyström as “Comrade Nyström” in his remarks, which elicited roughly equal parts amusement and mild confusion among the other two statesmen and the press in attendance.
After a break, the day concluded with a state banquet. The Zardic delegation had brought 120 bottles of the premium red wine Argemonta Sangarebo as a gift for the hosts.
Day 2: Commissar Mustarmakulo visits a steel mill, followed by a meeting with union leaders and discussions with miners.
Commissar Pipo and Director Surfungo are given a tour of the industrial port by Rikspremier Knudson, followed by lunch at a high-end seafood restaurant in the historic port of Kivonia.
Commissar Mustarmakulo rejoins them, and the delegation travels with Rikspremier Knudson to the countryside. In the late afternoon, they observe the annual moose migration. In the early evening, travel to the nearest airport for an official farewell, followed by the return flight to Zardugal.
