Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Central Tower
Government District
Almatii, Karakhstan
The new government district consisted of a number of glass towers situated around an open park with the Senate's plenary nearby. It was surrounded by a forested park just a five minute drive from the city centre and situated on the main bus lines. At its opening ceremony last summer many were upset that it was not right in the city centre while others applauded the architecture, well-lit workspaces and energy efficient construction.
Foreign Minister Katan Kazkhanov did not involve himself with trivial matters such as those. He was glad to have his ministry occupy some of the uppermost floors of the Central Tower, the tallest. It provided a commanding view of the city, which was growing at an exponential rate in all directions, stopped only by the mountains. He could see the border with Yujin on a clear day and the beginning of the farmlands to the north.
The Government District made it incredibly easy for workers of all the main ministries to quickly attend meetings and meet with colleagues from other offices. Senators could walk from the plenary hall next to the Central Tower to their offices in the shorter towers in minutes. A food court, convenience store, hair dresser, medical clinic, fine men's and women's wear clothier, tailor and bar were all in the compound. The park was also open to the public should they wish to visit.
The embassies were not far, either. Kazkhanov could see many of them along the tree-lined boulevards of the South End. Nestled away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre, the South End provided a comfortable environment for the foreign diplomats residing in the city.
A chime sounded and a woman's voice filled the glass office: 'Minister Kazkhanov, the ambassador from Great Engellex has arrived.'
'Thank you. Send him in.'
He straightened his tie and turned from the view to the wooden double door as it opened to reveal his guest.
