Kundrati and Lourenne will meet for the first time in decades.

[13 October 5577]

---

The Office of the President of Kundrati announced today that President Christian Åkerlund Mnesilochus Santoro Kafuricus (CAMSK) would meet with the leadership of Lourenne, even possibly their Emperor, as soon as they could do so. 

Kundrati and Lourenne have historically been friendly. Kundrati was caught up in the War of Lost Souls and provided Lourenne with much-needed assistance to turn that war against Beiteynu after Beiteynuese ships fired on Kundrati. This is not to mention the economic cooperation that happened beforehand with Lourennaise electric car factories and Lourennaise money pumped into Kundrati to a point where the Kundrati electric car industry is thriving with Lourennaise electric car brands.

However, this meeting is likely to try to establish a formal friendship with Lourenne. Word on the diplomatic street is that Beiteynu may soon break ties with Kundrati for good - likely due to Kundrati providing humanitarian assistance to Xsampa. This state has decided to stand up for their rights in the Vascanian Sea region. Rumors abound that Beiteynu will announce it any second now and that the Kundrati economy could collapse due to the amount of Beiteynuese money flowing around the Union. With these rumors and fears in context, it is no wonder that Kundrati is turning to Lourenne to help them.

Kundrati could be enrolled in the SOTERIA defense and intelligence program alongside states like Dundorf. While Kundrati would not be provided with SOTERIA-certified missiles or included in the defense portion of the package, it is likely that Kundrati would be enrolled in the intelligence program that would help alleviate any removal from the Allink that Kundrati is currently involved in. Other potential outcomes could include satellite help and more military cooperation alongside additional economic assistance, such as Lourennaise banks entering the Kundrati market more and more.

The President left a final word to end the announcement before he left for Lourenne:

It is only natural that neutral powers meet with one another. Neutrality is ever rarer in the world, especially with barbarian warmongers in Majatra trying to throw feces at us. Only states like Lourenne, Lodamun, Kalistan, or whatever have you can be considered neutral powers. Let's hope that more nations accept the embrace of neutrality.
