Kalistani Foreign Minister Laura Michelakakis has reaffirmed the nation's commitment to defending the sovereignty of its Seleyan neighbours. Following a number of veiled threats and diplomatic disagreements between the Federation of Zardugal, one of its key allies in Majatra, and the 2nd Great Democratic Republic of Lodamun, Kalistan's northern neighbour, Kalistan has felt the need to reassert its position. At a press conference in connection with the Kalistan for C campaign, Michelakakis remarked that;

Kalistan always has and always will promote the core, founding principles upon which our nation is built: democracy, freedom and self-determination. We believe those are rights not only extended to Kalistani citizens but to every Terran citizen. Therefore, when we find that there are nations which want to assert their dominance, bully other governments and push their own agenda and interests, we will stand up to them. Kalistan and Zardugal are important strategic partners; we know they share values so I say to the Federation, let the nations of Seleya determine their own destiny. Obviously, communicate with leaders and ask that they abide by our principles too. Ultimately, though, it is the exclusive prerogative of a democratically elected regime to decide policy within a country.

The comments represent a continued attempt by Kalistan to help defend Lodamun from the numerous diplomatic attacks launched by outside nations.
