Lala Kalena looks delighted on arriving in Iglesia Mayor

Lala Kalena, Kalistan's Foreign Minister, arrived in the Dranish capital of Iglesia Mayor this morning. Kalena, who was appointed to the position upon the retirement of experienced diplomat Laura Michelakakis, will meet with prominent members of the governing coalition tomorrow, including her counterpart Sonja Lee and Trade Minister Catherine Breckinridge of the Grand National Party. Afterwards, she will speak personally with Steward of the Realm Guinevere Morgan-Caleb regarding the ongoing crisis between Kazulia and Mikuni-Hulstria as well as the ratification of the Kalistan-Dranland Treaty of Cooperation and Friendship.

Various figures within the government have articulated their delight at Kalistan's new found relationship with Dranland, with President McCrae hailing it as 'a sign that Kalistan is a nation committed to internationalism, fair trade and peaceful, productive relations'. Nevertheless, the sudden resurgence of the Kalistan Radical Front, a party devoted to complete isolationism, makes signing any future deals difficult. Kalena's job will be made particularly tough if the KRF are able to obtain a National Assembly majority, allowing them to repeal previous trade deals established during the PEP-PP-LP coalition era.

Once she has concluded business in Dranland, Kalena will head south to Kalistan's key regional partner- Indrala. Following decades of uncertainty and internal strife, a robust republic has developed under the stewardship of the Social Democrats. It is hoped that the government, with their shared values and willingness to cooperate with Kalsitan, will consider closer ties in future. She will then, it is expected, continue on to Ostland and Lourenne.
