Chancellor of the Empire John Mickelson talks with reporters at National Assembly
Chancellor Encouraged by Stance from Xsampa
"Perhaps it is too soon to say," said Chancellor of the Empire Sir Johnathan Mickelson, "but the messages that are filtering over from Xsampa suggests that they are as apprehensive about a change in relations between our two nations as we are. We can go on their public statements, but so far we have not seen any deliberate attempts to increase tensions between the Kalistanis who remain in Xsampa and the Communist Government that has dedicated itself to fighting anti-democratic states. Their efforts seem to be directed more at other Dovanian states, and do not, at least at the moment, seem to be aimed at Seleya. That is encouraging."
The Chancellor delivered the remarks in the Press Lobby of the National Assembly earlier this week when asked to summarize Kalistan's current orientation toward Xsampa given Communist electoral victories in February. "Much like the custodial crisis, a lot of our policy is based on a desire for stability in the nation, without regard to the ideological orientation of the nation's government. While it appeared that the Custodian could provide that stability, when he lost the case in accord with the institutional rules and refused to leave initially, that undermined his stability bona fides for Kalistan, so we pulled our support. Now that the Communists have been elected by what we can agree is a fair and open process, in accord with their law, we of course have our concerns, but until they make more direct moves against Kalistanis, Her Imperial Majesty wants to hold at this point, and after the Government has begun enacting its platform, perhaps then would be a time to revisit the matter."
The Chancellor said that Kalistan would like to resume its status quo relationship with the Dovanian state, ultimately. "We are certainly not going to do anything to make things worse. But we have to pay close attention to what the Government is doing: We take the Communists seriously and at their word, and while some would dismiss their platform as propaganda or internal messaging, we have to take it seriously until we can be sure that it won't be directed in a way which will threaten Kalistani concerns and citizens in the nation. So we are in a holding pattern right now, in a slightly encouraging holding pattern." The Chancellor did not comment on the disagreements between Xsampa and Utaristan.
New Consulate to open in Utaristan
To pursue new trade deals, as well as improve Kalistan's diplomatic posture in Utaristan, Her Imperial Majesty's Foreign Ministry annnounced that they will be opening a new Consulate in the city of Cise in Utaristan. Foreign Ministry spokesman Vern Jennings said, "Utaristan is rapidly becoming far more attractive as a trading partner for Kalistan, especially as they are beginning to look outside of their immediate region for buyers. New consular services will facilitate movement between Kalistan and Cise, to allow Kalistani nationals to seek business and travel opportunities to the northern Dovanian nation, and to facilitate complementary visits to Kalistan by Utaris." He said Kalistan desires to begin importing gems from Utaristan and wishes to increase its purchases of Rare Earth Minerals.
The new Consulate, which is expected to open in June of this year, comes with a new Consul General, who will head the station. Nathan Delgado will serve as Her Imperial Majesty's Consul General in Utaristan. Mr. Delgado has worked the Northern Dovani desk at the Foreign Ministry for 12 years, speaks the language and was part of the negotiating team around Utaristan's accessing the Green Terra initiative. He is known as a facilitator and will fit perfectly in the position as Kalistan's first Consul General in Utaristan.
"The consulate will primarily function to issue travel papers to Kalistan and serve as the liaison between the Kalistani Foreign Ministry and its Utaristani counterparts to discuss matters of trade and travel," said Jennings. "They will also provide Kalistani government services to Kalistanis travelling in Utaristan, such as legal and travel aid, and will provide information to Kalistanis about Utaristan. There is a small public relations component to the job as well, to help improve Kalistan's image in the nation." Jennings said he believes Utaristan also intends to open a consulate in Kaliburg, and says this is "very welcomed." This is the first step to a more full functioning Embassy, said Jennings.
AYIC announces expansion of Redn classes to Valruzia
The Anantonese Yeudi Interest Committee, under new director Roz Baumer, has announced that it has received a positive response on its request to open the first Redn language learning centers in Valruzia. "Of course Valruzia has the largest Yeudi diaspora population in the world. The majority of Kalistan's Yeudi population trace our heritage back to Valruzia, and we got our Redn from them as well. It is therefore a great opportunity for us to continue to revitalize the langauge of the Diaspora in a land with such history and culture, a land of our roots."
Baumer said the learning centers will be staffed by a Kalistani Redn Speaker working right next to a Valruzian Redn speaker. "This pairing will not only give us the opportunity to make sure the students get a more full experience, but also that Valruzian cultural references are adequately acknowledged in the language. You can say, since the revitalization of Redn has happened largely in Kalistan, it is loaded with Kalistani cultural associations which might not translate directly into another country. But Redn is being brought back to life, and should be sensitive to the cultures that it is being reintroduced into. Pairing the two speakers will allow students to get a much richer understanding of what the words mean in the local context, so we can avoid any suggestion that the Redn spoken in Valruzia will be a foreign invention. We would like the dialect spoken there to reflect the richness and history of the Valruzian people, of which the Yeudi Redn speakers are an important part."
Baumer said that the classes would be open to Yeudis and non-Yeudis alike who wish to learn Redn. "The language learning centers will begin in Chynberg, and depending on how well they go, may be expanded to other cities with large populations of diaspora Yeudis in Valruzia. We will follow Valruzia's lead and aim to, with subsidies, make it as widely available and as inexpensive as possible for students to learn the language and become fluent in it. Valruzia has been open to advancing new langauges in their nation in the past, and its AYIC's hope that Redn becomes another one that they are proud to count as a language spoken by their citizens. We will do all we can to help in that direction."
