Clenonberg set to visit Wiel January 5572

In an attempt to clear up what the vanukese media called "miscommunications" President Vanessa zum Clenonberg has finally set a date in her foreign policy calendar for visiting the Jelbic Emperor in Wiel, the capital of the Jelbic Empire. Foreign Policy experts are sceptical if the meeting can serve as a vehicle to overcome the stark contrast in ideological alignment. The progressive Clenonberg represents the left-wing of the big-tent social liberal DRP and has strongly steered the party into a more social democratic direction while the traditional allies of the Dual Republic have been doing the exact opposite. Direct questions regarding a potential shift in geopolitical alignment and an increased focus on searching for new humanitarian partners have been left unanswered. According to Foreign Minister Baumer: "The Dual Republic remains comitted to the 3rd Point and all its current allies. This is not going to change."
