Description[?]:
| Firstly, I am honoured to be serving Baltusia as Foreign Secretary at such a historic time and will look to ensure our Security Council position continues to gather support during its formative years. My first act is to ask Congress to look at the diplomatic immunity law. Whilst I agree we should welcome foreign ambassadors with open arms I also believe we should have the right to send them home if they commit a crime on Baltusian soil. Baltusian justice must prevail. Patricia Grayson Foreign Secretary |
