Foreign Minister Moses Allen traveled to Lourenne to begin to prepare for Queen Catherine's Visit

Foreign Minister Moses Allen visited Lourenne last month and met with representatives of the new Lourennais Queen, Catherine.  The visit was designed to kick off the process in preparation for the Queens visit in the coming year.

Allen reported that his three day visit to the Lourennaise Capital was very low-key and informal.  "I met with my counterpart, Comrade Jean-François Gide, as well as representatives of the Trade Ministry.  I was received most warmly, shown around the capital, and had several opportunities to meet with college students and young businessmen and women.  Visiting the university campus was the highlight of the trip:  There I found Lourennaise youth who were very interested in Kalistan, and I missed no opportunity to invite them to Kalistan in 4496.  Many of the young women especially commented on their favorite Kalistani music.  To be honest, these young people treated me a bit like a celebrity, and that was more than surprising."

Allen said that the state visit would occur likely within the first half of 4496, and will last at least 5 days, though Allen made clear, that if the Queen should like to stay longer, the President's schedule will remain clear during the Queen's entire visit.  "We mentioned that we would like to host the Queen once more at Eveari House, the official mansion which hosts high level visitors from around the world, where Lourenne's royal family stayed on the historic 4436 visit.  We'd like to give the queen a chance to tour various places in Kalistan:  Kalistan holds great natural beauty, such as the Bong Falls which is Northern Seleya's largest waterfall at almost a half a mile across.  The President has made it clear, that he would like this to be a purely social visit.  We would like the Queen to be impressed, and Kalistan is pulling out all the stops to make a fantastic impression on the new Monarch."

The Foreign Minister's visit was the first visit by such a high level Kalistani official in almost 60 years, since the Deputy Trade Minister Gina Rivera visited in 4439.  Despite having close economic ties since the 50s, Kalistan looks forward to strengthening political and cultural ties with the Kingdom going into the new century.
