FM Greene departs to discuss Kerisian affairs

Their Imperial Majesties Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Honorable Mr. Henry Greene was dispatched to Altea this week to discuss the deteriorating situation in Kizenia.  Before departing Kaliburg, the Foreign Minister discussed the trip with reporters.  "

"Both Egelion and Kalistan have what I believe to be mutually shared interests in stability in Keris, and the coup in Kizenia undermines stability.  Egelion has sent the appropriate signals to show their concern too, and therefore it is important that our to nations coordinate our response."

The Foreign Minister said he is going to Altea to get a better read on Egelian policy, and to propose ways Kalistan can support stabilization efforts in Keris.  "Kalistan is directly involved in anything that happens in a nation that faces the Anantonese Ocean.  But Egelion is logistically in a far better position to address any security crises in the continent itself, so Kalistan's position at this moment is to offer our support for their efforts, to encourage them to continue to take the collapse of legitimate government in Kizenia seriously, and to ensure that nothing either of our two nations do causes alarm in the other country."

The Foreign Minister confirmed reports that the 1st Regular Navy remains on alert in the North Anantonese Ocean, repatriation of Kalistani Citizens remain ongoing from Kizenia, though at a very slow pace, and Army Group North has been ordered onto 48 Hour Alert in case they are needed to support the Naval operations .  "We are ready to go.  Currently, the Kalistani expatriate community in Southern Kizenia is concentrated primarily in the southern cities of Luncasi and Deltabor.  In Luncasi, which is a border city with Dolgava, Kalistanis were working with local authority to begin to develop port infrastructure in the city to greatly increase commerce between Seleya and Kizenia, but obviously this has been put on hold for the moment, and the considerable investment of Kalistani commercial investors is frozen in the town until the crisis in government is resolved." 

The meetings between Kalistan and Egelion demonstrate a continuing move toward consonance between Kalistan and its northern neighbor.  "We find ourselves in agreement with Egelion more often these days, whether it be the illegal detention of the Egelian Queen in Trigunia, or the horrific deal made by Xsampa and Beiteynu.  Restoration of the Monarchy in Kizenia and return to stability in Keris is obviously something we will also agree upon as well, and so this conversation is expected to be substantial and constructive."

The Foreign Minister is expected to be in Altea for a week to hold meetings, and will likely be joined as needed by other members of Their Imperial Majesties' Government as required.  It is also likely that the Foreign Minister will bring an official correspondence for King Artemio and Queen Anastasia from Their Imperial Majesties, pertaining to statements of fraternity and comity, though it is unclear if the Queen will have returned from Nadiya yet by this time.
