Fort William, Principality of Orange, Luthori - The Prime Minister, Lord President of the Council, His Grace, Robert Harrington has approved the plan from Foreign Secretary, Andrew Meyer, about finally moving past the Baltusian debacle. The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, having decided to introduce a new bill in the Imperial Diet, called the 2nd 2nd Ananto Strait Comprehensive Accord Ratification Act, 5495, which would effectively make Luthori recongnize Kalistani sovereignty over the Ananto Strait. This development isn't surprising as Luthori's policy in regards to Seleya has been either turned towards trade (Gaduridos, Aldegar) or making amends due to the Luthorian blunder during the Baltusian debacle. This support of the Kalistan policy in regards to the Ananto Strait comes after Dolgava announcing that it would "abide" by the Treaty, in regards to military passage through the Strait. Foreign Secretary Meyer stated in his opening remarks related to the bill that the ratification of this bill by both the Imperial Diet and Imperial Senate "would mark a step into the right direction". This decision comes after the recent policy change from Luthori in regards towards colonail reparations and the Starving Artists' tour being highly successful, leading to an increase within the Luthorian populace of the opinion about Kalistan. Finally, this recognition of Kalistani policy in regards to the Strait is seen as a good will gesture from the Luthorian Foreign Office, as Meyer stated at the beginning of his tenure that Kalistan-Luthori relations were a "priority" for him.

Since the Kalistani Empress' interview with "The Republic", which has been widely seen, in Luthori as being a tacit support of the Foreign Secretary's actions, which aims to reduce the misunderstanding between both states, in order to develop common themes where a discussion towards developing better relations between Fort William and Kaliburg and this change in Luthorian policy may also be helpful in that goal.

Luthori's recent development should send a positive message for the state of Luthori-Kalistan relations, now the reaction from Kalistan will be looked upon.
