The Administrator-General, who serves as Her Imperial Majesty's Viceroy to The Commonwealth of Lodamun among other administrative roles he carries within the Commonwealth, flew to Kaliburg this week to be confirmed by Her Imperial Majesty Empress Mary I Ananto. The Administrator General was selected for the role by both houses of the Lodamese Congress, and in addition to his roles within the Lodamese Government, also serves as the primary liaison between the Anantonese Empire and the largely autonomously governed Commonwealth, and speaks with the voice of Her Imperial Majesty on all AE matters.

The new Administrator-General is an epidemiologist and has recently served as a Professor of Health and Social Services, and was a main advocate for the expansion of public health within Lodamun. "We are pleased to welcome such a strong advocate for the health and welfare of the people of Lodamun to our home in Kaliburg," said Her Imperial Majesty, at a public reception for the new Administrator-General. "Sir Forrester is a credit to his Nation, and we are very encouraged with the appointment."

Besides officially credentialing Lodamun's choice for Administrator-General, Dr. Forester was officially inducted as Stranger Knight Companion in the Ancient Order of the Gray Smoke. "The position entitled the Administrator-General to hold counsel with us without the necessity of a formal audience," said the Empress. "Therefore appointment is necessary. Our Viceroy in Gaduridos maintains the same status." Unfortunately, Order Day events, held in May each year were completed by the time the Administrator-General arrived, but there are at least two more Order events this year which the Administrator-General will certainly be welcomed to attend.

Reportedly, following the Investiture Ceremony, Her Imperial Majesty and His Excellency the Administrator-General discussed important matters of Anantonese Defense. Her Imperial Majesty was keen to discuss missile defense. She also reportedly discussed recent developments in satellite-based target acquisition technology which will soon be prototyped for space launch from Spencer. Trade and continental affairs were also on the docket for discussion, as well and the potential to recognize the new Government in Baltusia. The full investiture ceremony was less than 20 minutes long, and the conversation between the two lasted about a half hour.

"We look forward to our next visit to Lodamun," said Her Imperial Majesty. "In the meanwhile, We thank His Excellency the Administrator General for visiting us here in Kaliburg. He and the entire Lodamese Government is always welcomed to our capital."
