Sir Daniel Levine proposes Visit to Dolgava

Eveari, Grand Duchy of Ananto

His Imperial Majesty sits with the new Chancellor of the Empire, Sir David Levine

The new Chancellor of the Empire met formally for the first time this week with His Imperial Majesty in Eveari at Ananto Estate.  The Chancellor brought the names of the new Ministers who will form His Imperial Majesty's Government.  Of the new Ministers, only Lt. Commander Henry Reals has retained his position as Defense Minister.  The resignation of His Imperial Majesty's Foreign Minister George Bennots has been accepted and he has been replaced by Lady Anya Waltrip, Duchess of Vrassa.

Following the acceptance of the Chancellor's List, His Imperial Majesty formally knighted the Chancellor, so he could perform his duties as Chancellor.  The Knighthood formally makes Chancellor Levine a member of the Peerage, and gives him the right to speak directly with the Emperor in Formal Audience.  The ceremony was simply a formality, but is the final step necessary to conform to Imperial Protocol.

Following the official ceremonies, the Chancellor announced to gathered reporters to announce that His Imperial Majesty intended to make a trip to Dolgava to greet the Dolgavan King Sigismund III and the Crown Princess Jaanika in an effort to lay a new foundation for friendly relations between the two Anantonese Nations.  "Our two nations have a long history of cooperation, which has sadly gone quiet in the last few decades," said Chancellor Levine.  "His Imperial Majesty has expressed a desire for peace and is now seeking opportunities to rebuild relationships that have had to be put aside while our Empire was distracted with the war."  The Chancellor said that the visit will be a friendly visit, and Her Highness Empress Consort Monica and the two Minor Princesses Mary and Margaret Ananto-DeLaurentis will join him on the trip.  The visit will be an effort to get to know the Dolgavan King and soon-to-be Queen and look for new opportunities to cooperate economically, politically and culturally.  The trip follows up on the recent Kalistani trip to Xsampa.

The Chancellor said that His Imperial Majesty is also considering opportunities to visit the new governments of Dalibor and Vorona, and then to return to Egelion.  During the trip to Dolgava, His Imperial Majesty and the Empress Consort intend to stop in Kennsington, Lodamun to meet with His Imperial Majesty's Government in Lodamun and to grant Unit Medal Commendations to Lodamese War Veterans who distinguished themselves in Likatonia.

The Visit will take place by October, but meanwhile, The Chancellor said his first priorities are to evaluate Government spending and prioritize reconstruction of the Kalistani Fleet and ingoing reconstruction of Kaliburg, Port Swedes and Eshar, which is ongoing.
