Naval Captain Twilla Carrangus returned to Kalistan yesterday. Upon her return, Carrangus officially ended her visit to the Federal Republic of Hutori, where she served as Chief Commissioner of the team dispatched to settle outstanding issues with the Federal Republic.  Upon arriving back on Kalistani soil, Captain Carrangus offered the following statement on the settlement:

"The Imperial Republic of Kalistan and the Federal Republic of Hutori have resolved all major outstanding differences between our two nations relating to the sinking of KALNAPECO Tanker Eastern Republic.  We traded admissions with regard to the military nature of an experimental submarine belonging to Kalistan which the Hutorians were tracking, and their illegal boarding of the Tanker.  We also acknowledge that Hutorian commandos, once aboard the Tanker did in fact act with the aim of rescuing stranded Kalistani Nationals, to the best of their ability, and we express our appreciation for their efforts on our Merchant Marines' parts.  In exchange for these admissions, Hutori has agreed to purchase a significant amount of Kalistani National Petroleum, a deal which was authorized in lieu of direct compensation for the loss of our vessel and which we deem to offer a complete resolution of the conflict between our two Nations. 

"Hutori and Kalistan still disagree on minor details, but in all, Kalistan considers the matter closed.  Additionally, this amicable and mutual settlement forms the foundation for possible discussion of closer relations between Kalistan and Hutori.  Finally, we stress that we view this settlement as exhaustive, and it should bear no weight on ongoing discussions between Kalistan and Trigunia, nor does it have any relation whatsoever to any settlements between Hutori and Trigunia.  In all, the direction of the President of the Republic has been fulfilled with this settlement."

Following the press conference, Carrangus was shuttled to the National Assembly, where the new Foreign Minister of Kalistan, acting on the request of the Premier of the Republic confirmed Carrangus as the second Director of the Kalistani Republican Security Bureau.  Carrangus shall oversee a complete overhaul of the Bureau and establish transparency as a norm.  This move follows the expressed desire of the President of the Republic, Poppy Smith-Bennots, to conduct a complete and transparent audit of the Kalistani Armed Forces.  In accepting the Directorship, Carrangus resigned her Naval commission.  For her service, Carrangus was awarded the Republican Service Medal, the highest civilian award authorized by the Republic.  In accepting, she dedicated her award to a Kalistani named Juan Juarez, about whom Carrangus was unwilling to speak at length.
