JILDRATI CITY, ETXEA — A day of great political and symbolic significance took place yesterday in the capital of the Kundrati Union in Etxea, where the Emperor of the Istalians, Alessandro V, and the Minister Secretary of State Annalisa Saragat were received by President Tiberius Claudio Nero. The meeting reconfirms the solid relations between the Imperial State of Istalia and the Kundrati Union, victim of the tragic attack that shook the institutional foundations of the country.

Last year, in May, the Presidential Office was in fact hit by a violent terrorist attack, an episode that caused dozens of victims including several members of the Government Cabinet itself. President Nero, who miraculously survived the attack, returned to public life welcomed with emotion and respect by the entire country reconfirming the resolve of the Kundrati Union to continue to proudly stand against the vile and infamous Legionary Kundrati. Minister Secretary of State Saragat and His Majesty the Emperor, in the aftermate of the attack last year, had reached President Nero by telephone just a few hours after the attack, already assuring a forthcoming state visit to the country to reaffirm Istalia's support for the democratic Kundrati.

During the official meeting, Alessandro V expressed the "total and unwavering solidarity of the Istalian people towards the Kundrati Union, struck for its love of freedom and unwavering support for Democracy", thus firmly condemning the attack and the clear instigators, the totalitarian and inhuman government of the Legionary Kundrati.

During the joint press conference, the Emperor also declared:

Istalia does not tolerate and will never tolerate acts of barbarity of this kind, we stand alongside President Nero and the people of the Kundrati Union here in Etxea in this difficult but sacrosanct struggle for the freedom of an entire people. Istalia, which a decade ago emerged from the ashes of a civil war, knows well what it means to fight to restore freedom to its people and we can only reconfirm our will to remain alongside the Kundrati Union in this noble and just crusade.

In addition to political solidarity, the visit also had a strong practical implication. Sources close to the delegations speak of in-depth discussions on new economic and commercial agreements between the two nations. Although no official details have been released, the possibility of structured cooperation also in the defense field is becoming increasingly concrete.

President Nero defined the meeting as "fruitful and encouraging" underlining the importance of Istalian support as "a further fundamental pillar for the stability and security of the Kundrati Union".

The state visit concluded with a memorial ceremony for the victims of the attack, during which Alessandro V laid a wreath at the still-devastated site of the Presidential Office, amid emotional applause from the crowd.
