Laura Michelakakis, Kalistan's Defence Minister, has spoken of her desire for much further cooperation between the Federation of Zardugal and Kalistan. In a joint question and answer session with Zardic Foreign Minister Yasmin Won, both sides agreed that a rebirth in relations between the two countries would be hugely mutually beneficial. Michelakakis went on to explain why Zardugal is such an ideal partner;
Foreign Minister Jean-Baptiste Fabian has been similarly complementary during Ms. Won's trip, saying she was 'a credit to her nation and to her people'. By the conclusion of the trip at the end of this week, Fabian hopes to have agreed in principle a deal of some kind between the two nations. Unfortunately, the domestic political landscape means that it is still not clear whether such a deal would ultimately be ratified and, even if it would, when that would occur. Nonetheless, collaboration of any kind will bring benefits to Kalistan- especially given Zardugal's prime location in Majatra, bordering Vanuku.

Quote:When we engage with the Federation, we know we are dealing with like-minded people who share our core values of liberty, democracy and respect for sovereignty. Unlike with some of our other strategic partners, there are no issues of tip-toeing around certain topics or ignoring particular issues. Through a small number of extremely productive and frank conversations, myself and Minister Won have been able to make more progress than Kalistan has made in some years with other nations! This ability to be honest and transparent has been absolutely fundamental to our discussions thus far and if it continues then I have no doubt our relationship will go from strength to strength for years and decades to come.
