Foreign Minister Won arrives in Kaliburg

Zardic Foreign Minister Yasmin Won arrived in Kaliburg yesterday to huge fanfare as she began her long anticipated meeting with the Kalistani Government. Meeting her at the airport was Kalistani Foreign Minister Fabian and President Foster and the Zardic Ambassador to Kalistan.

After meeting with her Kalistani counterparts she and her husband, Tomas Achillo, were taken on a tour of Kaliburg, along with a stop at a Kaliburg demolition derby where's it's said the Foreign Minister and her husband were cheering the loudest.

Won's arrival in Kalistan is apart of President Murphy's new Foreign policy seeking to ease Zardugal back onto the international stage. With meeting with Istalia and Hutori already complete Won's whirlwind cycle has brought her to what is considered one of the most influential nations in the east. With a steady decline of Indralan influence in recent years, Kalistan has taken an increasingly leadership role both in its backyard and internationally; it currently holds the General Secretary Position on the World Congress Security Council; something not lost on Zardugal.

As the meetings get underway Won is expected to touch base on increasing Zardic Business in Kalistan, and bringing in Kalistani exports to Zardugal. A select private meeting with the Kalistani President and Defence Minister is said to lead up to talks about increased military ties between Kaliburg and Belgae; Zardugal has for years considered to have one of the most powerful militaries in Terra and despite years of international neglect the Zardic Officer Corps are still respected as some of the world's most professional while Zardic military equipment is still considered amongst the premier equipment in Terra today.
