Following the diplomatic chaos caused by the announcement of the state visit from the Istalian delegation to Gaduridos’s capital, Gadur, the nation’s chief of diplomacy, Victor Goyri Jaramillo, addressed the domestic and international public with an open statement, apologising to the Imperial Throne in Kalibug on behalf of Gaduridos’s previous agreements with Istalian officials to visit our nation and sign trade accords, allowing the former to enter the Anantonese markets.

"Obviously, creating a rift between our two nations wasn’t our intention with these agreements with our Istalian colleagues. And, I would not say we have a rift currently, but what’s done is done,” Jaramillo said. “But, it is also quite disappointing for us that while, yes, Articles of Empire do mention imperial oversight or complete control over foreign policy, which we do not object to, the quote from the Empress’s trade representative, Ms. Boone, talking about ‘no apparatus to talk with’ in Gaduridos. I will judge whether this remark was made in anger or disappointment, but it is false, and I hope our colleagues in Kaliburg understand it."

When asked what would happen next, Chancellor Jaramillo said that it is now up to the two sides, Kalistan and Istalia, to resolve their issues. He also added that Gaduridos will remain committed to the Empire, its operations, policies, and priorities. However, Jaramillo concluded by noting that there might be a Gaduri visit to Kaliburg to discuss the current and future state of the Empire, and Gaduridos’ role within it. “We are part of a big family, and have no intention to drive away, but if we want to have a stable and strong family, there might be some conversations.”
