ROMULA - The Government has officially announced the upcoming state visit to the Republic of Gaduridos by Minister-Secretary of State Valeriano Giunio and His Imperial Highness Crown Prince Tommaso. The latter will officially represent Emperor Alexander V as Head of State for the first time, as the Imperial House recently announced he is unable to travel abroad.

The visit will take place in the Gadurian capital of Gadur, on the island of Marligantos, and represents the culmination of over a year of contacts and negotiations between the two governments. The focus of the trip will be the definition of a new bilateral economic and trade agreement, which is expected to mirror those already signed by Istalia with numerous countries in the northern Seleyan area. The shared goal is to promote the free movement of goods and capital, increase economic exchanges, introduce common guarantees for investments, and sign agreements on taxation and the prevention of double taxation.

According to sources close to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the agreement being prepared with Gaduridos will further strengthen the Istalian trade network on the Seluyan mainland, consolidating the country's position as a leading economic player in the region.

But the visit will not be limited to economic aspects: great interest has also been expressed in cultural and academic cooperation, particularly regarding the historical ties between Istalia and the island of Vintalli, located immediately north of Marligantos and the largest territory of the Gadurian state. Vintallian, a creole language with roots in medieval Estalian languages, particularly Vinesian, and later influenced by Proto-Egelian elements during Selucian colonial rule, is still widely spoken on Vintalli.

The Istalian academic world is viewing these linguistic and historical connections with growing interest, and joint research and academic exchange programs are expected to be launched in the coming months, including with the involvement of the Institute of Comparative Linguistics, recently founded within the University of Torre d'o Sulento, which aims to become a research center of excellence in the field.

The visit of Junius and the Crown Prince promises to be a high-profile diplomatic and cultural event, opening a new era of relations between Istalia and the Gaduridos, marked by cooperation, trade, and the rediscovery of ancient ties.
