"Welcome to Jugland, Duchess, President", Hilda Skolem told them. They were the first foreign guests to directly visit the Midtenstadt International Airport. "They are expecting you in the National Council building", she explained. "If you would mind to follow me", she added while they moved through the halls of the airport, the third largest in Jugland.
"I hope you had a pleasant flight", Hilda added, once their car started to move.
Burkhardt Kvalheim, Secretary of Foreign Affairs and President of the National Council, as it is called the federal government of the Federal Union of Jugland, was already waiting them in the stairs of the building.
"Welcome", Kvalheim said. "It's a pleasure to meet you", he said, once they were formally introduced. "I hope your visit will be constructive for both sides".
"If you need anything before the meeting, just let me know", he added as they walked through the halls of the building. "Everything is ready, of course, but we have any time at your disposal. There is no need to hurry up anything, after all".
Once they arrived to the main room where the meeting was expected to take place, Kvalheim introduced them to Grimwaldyna Nygaard, the Secretary of Justice and Federal Affairs, and Johannes Skouen, the Secretary of Transport, Energy and Communications. Although Jugland's relaunched civil nuclear program was started during Eadwald Engelsaas administration, it was put into practice after the establishment of the Department of Energy.
"Nice to meet you", they both said. They were offered to sit down along to large sofas in the middle of the room. The room had been decorated moderately austere, but with a detailed moulding and a luminous atmosphere.
"As you requested the meeting", Kvalheim inquiried, "is there any question you may have, or any clarification and/or point you would like to start this meeting?", he asked to their relatively unexpected guests.
