Her Imperial Majesty greets reporters and gives brief comments on Deltaria's entrance into NAM

Greeting the news Tuesday from Deltaria, one of Majatra's most important nation who has recently begun charting an independent course in foreign policy, Her Imperial Majesty gave a brief, off the cuff statement to reporters from The Republic. The Empress was in Eveari for the month at the Imperial Palace, now that renovations have been completed and the Imperial Museum has been relocated to another building off the grounds.

"We would like to take this opportunity to welcome the Deltarians to the Non Aligned Movement," said the Empress. "Deltaria and Kalistan have maintained cordial relations for a long time after the Creighton affair was resolved, and we appreciated the opportunity to visit and meet their Prime Minister. Minister Smith reported that the members of their government greeted us warmly, provided ample entertainment and were very serious about discussing the ways that The Empire of Ananto and Kalistan and The Grand Empire of Deltaria might work together commercially, culturally and in the security realm. We believe there are many avenues for cooperation, and their adoption of the Non Aligned Movement opens a number of those avenues. We look forward to giving our military the opportunity to train with Deltaria as it stands back up again, and our consumers and investors look forward to commercial opportunities with that part of the world, which has thus far been completely locked against Kalistan."

The Empress was asked whether Her Majesty's Government and the Emperor of Deltaria may eventually meet, and she was non committal. "We have looked for opportunities to visit other nations, and therefore imagine that this is another avenue to explore. Nothing formal has been committed to date with the Emperor of Deltaria, but we believe our visit to the Grand Empire will lead to many additional opportunities. As she finished, her body man, Mr. Lewis Tamarack signaled to her. The Empress excused herself and headed further into the Palace, as Tamarack explained that Her Imperial Majesty, The Empress Nicolette would be in meetings with the Prime Minister for the rest of the morning, and directed further questions to the Office of the Prime Minister at the National Assembly.
