This weekend has seen the long awaited first meeting between Lauchenoirian Prime Minister, Josephine Alvarez, and Maximusian President, Lucas Brown. On friday, Brown arrived in Lauchenoirian capital, Buttercity. He then was reportedly given a tour of what he called, "a magnificently beautiful city filled with some of the nicest people." Brown also commented via social media that he "was utterly astounded by how fast the citizens of Buttercity had recovered from the recent war." Later that evening and the following afternoon, President Brown met with Prime Minister Alvarez in a closed-door meeting to dicuss a number of topics pertaining to Maximusian-Lauchenoirian relations. Brown stated in an earlier press that he intended to gain an undertanding of how Alvarez viewed Libertas Omnium Maximus and work from there. Brown has made it clear on multiple occasions that he viewes Lauchenoiria as a possible close ally. As such, he likely took every step to attempt to improve relations between the two nations. Sources also indicate that Brown and Alvarez discussed the possibility of a trade deal between Lauchenoiria and Libertas Omnium Maximus however, these reports are largely unconfirmed. Such a trade deal would no doubt bolster Lauchenioria's struggling economy and might help to revitalize certain failing industries in LOM. After the meeting, Brown visisted several areas of Lauchenoiria that had seen fighting during the 2nd Laucheniorian Civil war. Perhaps most notably, Brown visited Carvile, a port city that was occupied by Maximusian forces throughou the late-summer and autum of 2018. During his time in Carville, Brown reportedly noted that he regretted how much damge the Maximusian forces had done to the city's infrastructure. He told on on-site Litudinem Herald reporter, "To this very day one can feel the effects of war on this great city. The citizens of Carville have made an extraordinary effort to rebuild their city but I fear the damge inflicted may take many years to fully repair. On behalf of the Maximusian Government, whose role in this carnage cannot be understated, I sicerely apologize. Brown is expected to make an official statement regarding the entire visit to Lauchenoiria when he arrives back on Maximusian soil Monday morning.
