Ministry of External Affairs of the Republic of Anbat
15 Square of the Anbanite Revolution, Phezzan
Phezzan Governorate, Anbat
The headquarters of the Ministry of External Affairs stood at the eastern edge of the Square of the Anbanite Revolution, and behind security gates and an armored fence designed to protect the building from terrorist incidents consisted of a main building facing the square - the three-floor Old Ministry built in the late 19th century to combine traditional Anbatine architecture with Northern European Empire style - and a deeper section of two modern office buildings built in the 1960s for the purposes of housing a growing ministerial bureucracy. Today, the Old Ministry would house a meeting between Mikheil Khoury, the Minister of External Affairs, and representatives of the Belmonti government.
In recognition of the ongoing crisis involving Belmont and the notoriously unstable Meribian government as well as the ongoing security threats that Anbat itself faced, security in the vicinity of the Ministry had been propped up by the Phezzan Police and the Republican Police. The plane carrying the Belmonti delegates would land at the Phezzan International Airport, and a limousine motorcade would transport them to the Ministry where they would be received by Minister Khoury.
In the third floor of the Old Ministry, Mikheil Khoury stood in the balcony of his office, gazing at the Square of the Anbanite Revolution on the other side of the armored glass installed on the balcony, and smoked a Tortugan Greycliff cigar. A hookah and cigar connoisseur since he'd reached adulthood, Khoury always allowed himself a calming cigar before a meeting, leaving his aides to attend to their last-minute preparative duties alone. It also allowed him a moment to go through his plans for the meeting.
Before entering the Assembly of Deputies and being appointed to the Cabinet by President Zureiq, Khoury had worked in an import-export company that operated primarily in Khalistan, Dai Viet and elsewhere in the region, and as such he'd needed to read quite a lot before getting up to speed on the Belmonti government. After all, he wasn't a professional diplomat, rather someone from Zureiq had viewed as an otherwise competent and politically reliable Progress Party loyalist. Aside from the common and stated agenda of resisting Islamist movements and very sketchy ideas about increasing foreign trade, Khoury didn't quite know what was on the Belmonti agenda.
When an aide entered the balcony to notify him that the guests had arrived and were on their way up, he finished the cigarette and went inside to receive them.
