First Konsul of the Archrepublic, Rakel Sorensdotter, was sent in place of the Arch-konsul himself due to prior commitments. Representing the Archrepublic was chief among the duties of the First Konsul, a position often compared to the Vice President in other similar styled governmental systems.
"Remind me to ask Alvar why he always makes me go south during the summer, it never gets this hot back home," Rakel noted to her assistant Emma, "I mean truly beautiful country at least from up here, but its nearly 10 degrees higher here than it is back home!"
"Well you argued for more international exposure, and if Alvar agrees to step down to let you run for the Konsulship you're going to need the appearance of having some foreign relations experience. Especially if they put forward Anders as expected from the Democrats," responded Emma. She had the privelege of working for Rakel since her initial campaign for Nyetthem city council when they were both in their final year as university.
"Madame Konsul we are able to start out descent, please all other passengers as well as the First Konsul please find your seats for landing," interrupted the Pilot over the intercom.
The Vayinaodic Executive Two after receiving final clearance from local air traffic control began its descent and landing. The First Konsul exited the aircraft and met the local Spainish delegation enthusiastically even if the heat was unbearable for her northern blood. After initial greetings, they joined the other delegations in a motorcade on the way to the first set of events.
