FM Diane Smith flies to Deltaria to represent Her Imperial Majesty the Empress Nicolette in initial talks concerning NAM

A recent opening in the rock solid Majatran bloc has caused sudden action on the part of Her Imperial Majesty's Government today, as news came that Deltaria has begun the process of withdrawing from the Majatran Security Cooperation Organization (MSCO). "This presents an excellent opportunity for the Non Aligned Movement," said Her Imperial Majesty's Minister for Foreign Affairs, Diane Smith. "I an really excited to have the opportunity to go represent Her Imperial Majesty and the Empire of Ananto and Kalistan abroad for the first official trip of this Government. I aim to lobby on behalf of the Non-Aligned Movement. As collective security arrangements don't necessarily work for everyone, and Deltaria has expressed dissatisfaction with the current arrangement, this is an opportunity for us to speak with their government and form the basis for a cooperative and friendly relationship between our two nations."

The Non Aligned Movement has been a top priority of Her Imperial Majesty's government since before she took the throne. "Her Majesty would like me to express that Deltaria, in a neutral position, would be most welcomed in the Non Aligned Movement. The benefit to Kalistan and the NAM is that the Movement will expand into that corner of the world for perhaps the first time, and the benefit to Deltaria is the serious commitment this Movement takes to independence in Foreign Policy, support for sovereignty and support for self-determination in foreign affairs. If Deltaria is truely committed to peace, as Her Majesty believes they are, the Non Aligned Movement is the perfect place for them. It will also allow Deltaria to begin posing as a counterpoint to the regional hegemony in that area and will offer other states an alternative."

Minister Smith left for Deltaria this morning. She is reportedly "thrilled".
