The Empress, prior to her departure to the Imperial Diet, shared her excitement at welcoming students from Jenka-Jenkinson to the Imperial Diet and Rokkenjima itself.
Later today the Empress will be joined by youth from across the First Empire for the annual Youth Diet session. This year features foreign guests; with Empress Serenity serving as guest speaker and a delegation from Vicheshire School, led by Student Body President Kikyo Hase who reached out to the Empress on Twitter noting "Understand if you're busy but I've got voters to answer to and they wanted me to ask." The Empress took to Twitter a couple of minutes later congratulating Kikyo Hase on her victory while placing one of her Imperial Air Transports at the service of the Vicheshire Delegation adding, "you can tell your voters promises made, promises kept. See you in Pyrettania."
The Empress promised that there would be no controversies at this year's event, looking back upon the 2020 Youth Diet Session which caused a stir. "There's a few topics we'll be discussing and approaching though I will not offer any spoilers here. I can confirm, however, that they will not provoke great controversy beyond the walls of the Imperial Diet. It will be a valuable learning experience for all involved and one I will be looking forward to hosting for many years to come."
In other developments the Task Force centred around IRN Kitsune and IRN Alexander Vaughan has been ordered to the Strait of Shaw, where it will then form the southern component of Task Force Vigilant Watch. "The First Empire, in concert with its allies and partners, is preparing for all possible contingencies in the Troyes Affair. We are confident that Kitsune and Alexander Vaughan, in addition to the capabilities of our allies and partners already positioned in the region, will ensure a robust response to any possible contingency may be adequately responded to," a statement from Rear Admiral Forrester stated.
The Imperial Palace also held a press conference in which it stated that "discussions with the Kingdom of Seaforth are ongoing," however, declined to answer questions as to the status of those discussions.
