The delegation from Mktvartvelo finally arrived to Rayyu. It has led by Prime Minister Bidzina Samkharadze himself, in which was his first diplomatic travel abroad since he was appointed as Prime Minister. The delegation also included other government officials, state employees, and some business representatives.

The Emir's Palace was prime beach front property. Had it not been home to the Royal Family it would likely have been flanked by luxury hotels and beach resort clubs but it had much of the Eastern part of the cities beach to itself. Prince Talaat Muhsin, the Emir's eldest brother was sent to the airport to fetch the Prime Minister and his delegation. The Prince had instructions to bring them down the coastal road and escorted by smartly green uniformed outriders from the military they had no problems reaching the Palace. "As-salamu alaykum and welcome to Rayyu" the Emir greeted him with a handshake. "Please come into our home." The Emir's two other brothers, Prince Prince Ibraheem Nuruddin and the 13 year old Prince Prince Diya Abdelhamid were each introduced in turn and then joined the Emir and the Prime Minister around a large glass topped table. "So Mr.Prime Minister we're excited to have you here. I think the first visitors from Mktvartvelo in many long years. I'm hopefully that we might make up for lost time. With that in mind is there any place in particular you'd like to start our talks?"

"Nice to meet you, Majesty", the Prime Minister said. "You are certainly right that a head of government from our Unitary State to your nation have been quite rare, or rather unprecedented. But we realize about the increasing standing presence of your nation, not just regionally, and my administration believe it could be a constructive meeting. From a historical point of view, of course, it may be seen as a strange choice, but it is my belief that our nations have a lot of to win for increasing cooperation".

"For a start", he continued, "we would be interested to improve trade and commercial relations between our nations. So I'd be interested to listen to your opinion on this, and which kind of legal instruments we could agree to achieve this aim".
