It has just been announced by the Merridan Administration that the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Joe Burger, has handed his resignation to the Administration, citing "health concerns". This comes after a rather controversial diplomatic move abroad as both Kalistan and Gaduridos have raised concerns about Baltusia engaging in diplomacy with Kundrati. As the administration looks to find a suitable replacement, First Minister Merridan has gone down to Ciudad de Gadur to meet with Foreign Minister Victor Goryi Jaramillo to smooth things over.
Quickly, a deal was reached. Baltusian markets would be open to Gaduridos, alongside priority for Gaduri companies to invest into Baltusia and ownership. After the meeting, Merridan would meet with the press and give the following statement.
As Merridan returns back to Johnston, the Sovereign of Baltusia, King George Alvarez has begun a public tour, looking to rally the people and rally national pride by visit military bases as well. However, while officially, negotiations didn't include any other provisions, it's likely that Baltusia will put more effort into vetting who leaves the country, especially from certain corners of the world. In any case, the establishment of basic economic ties is a win as previously, the syndicalist government made economic ties impossible, but given the obvious fact that they are gone, this can be called progress. Whatever the case, with Burgers resignation and Merridan negotiating with Gaduridos and extending the same offer to Kalistan, interesting times are ahead.

Quote:I know everyone has concerns. I understand. Truly. Kundrati has a dark past. While they are questionable in the present, my administration wants to show the world that we mean it when we say we will work with everyone. I'm glad to have visited Gaduridos. It shows we can talk things over, smooth things out, and ensure mutual prosperity for all nations involved. The resignation of Mr. Burger was regrettable, yes but health comes first. Even if conspiracy theorists will say that this comes from his mistakes. I wish him well in retirement. Nonetheless, I extend the same offer to Kalistan to negotiate and smooth things over. Just as our friends in Gaduridos have done. What can we achieve if we don't communicate together? Nonetheless, I am pleased with Gaduridos being willing to engage in diplomacy, and being open for negotiations.
