The visit marked the first state visit by a New Alexandrian monarch to Vegno and came just over a year after Sinchi Roca II's accession to the throne following the death of his father Sinchi Roca I.

The five-day state visit included numerous diplomatic, cultural, and economic events across three major Vegnese cities: Cossa, Mhazar, and Sancrus. King Sinchi Roca II was accompanied by his wife, Queen Adelaide, and a delegation of 120 people including government officials, business leaders, and cultural representatives. The visit resulted in the signing of several bilateral agreements focusing on trade expansion, cultural exchange, and technological cooperation, particularly in the fields of sustainable energy and artificial intelligence development.

Day One: Arrival in Cossa
The first day of the visit opened with a welcoming ceremony at Cossa International Airport. The delegation, comprising high-ranking officials from Nouvelle Alexandrie and led by King Sinchi Roca II, was greeted by the President of the Republic of Vegno, the Prime Minister, and all government ministers. The ceremony included a parade by the Vegnese Armed Forces, showcasing its various branches: the Vegnese Army, Vegnese Navy, Vegnese Air Force, and the Gendarmeria. This demonstration highlighted the importance Vegno placed on the visit and offered the delegation an insight into the country’s military structure.
Following the official reception, the delegation attended a presentation of traditional vegnese products. A particularly appreciated moment was the culinary demonstration by the renowned company Deliziosa, which displayed the art of pizza-making, one of Vegno's most iconic culinary representations. The delegation also participated in a tasting of local beers offered by the celebrated Cantorunno brewery, which presented some of its finest labels. This moment allowed the guests from Nouvelle Alexandrie to immerse themselves in vegnese culinary culture and appreciate the country’s warm hospitality.
Before the closing gala dinner, the delegation visited the University of Cossa, where Dr. Marcus Valerius, a professor of international relations, held a conference before an audience of high-ranking vegnese officials and the Nouvelle Alexandrie delegation. Professor Valerius addressed the significance of international cooperation and the current global political climate, offering insights on how collaborative relations between nations are essential in navigating contemporary challenges. This discussion deepened the context of the visit by engaging both delegations in a meaningful exchange on the importance of diplomatic engagement and strategic alliances.
To conclude the first day of the visit, a gala dinner was organized at the prestigious Dilemma Palace, the official residence of the President of the Republic of Vegno. The dinner was attended by all members of the vegnese government and parliament, as well as by all the guests from the Nouvelle Alexandrie delegation. The event, characterized by a formal and solemn atmosphere, allowed the two delegations to interact in a relaxed setting, fostering discussions on political and commercial issues of mutual interest. The dinner provided an occasion to celebrate the friendship between the two states and to discuss new opportunities for bilateral cooperation in areas such as trade, security, and culture.
Day Two: Diplomatic Engagements
The second day of the state visit marked a historic turning point in Vegnese foreign policy, highlighted by the surprise announcement of Vegno's accession to the Concord Alliance Treaty Organization (CATO). The day began with an additional welcoming ceremony at Cossa International Airport for newly arrived dignitaries - Chancellor Isabella Betancourt of Natopia and Federal Representative Galilea Montijo of Oportia, who joined the proceedings specifically for the CATO signing ceremony. A second parade by the Vegnese Armed Forces welcomed the expanded diplomatic delegation, featuring aerial displays by the Vegnese Air Force and a maritime salute from Vegnese Navy vessels in Cossa's harbor. Following the parade, President Antonio Visciglia personally led the assembled dignitaries on a tour of the historic Dilemma Palace, where both the Vegnese government and parliament convene.
The morning's ceremonial activities culminated in official group photographs in the Palace's Hall of Mirrors, after which the leaders retired to the President's Study for private discussions. At 14:30, in a carefully choreographed ceremony in the Grand State Room, Vegno officially signed its accession to CATO, joining Natopia, Nouvelle Alexandrie, and Oportia in the alliance. President Visciglia signed the accession documents alongside King Sinchi Roca II, Chancellor Betancourt, and Federal Representative Montijo.
During the subsequent press conference, President Visciglia described the accession as "a natural evolution of Vegno's commitment to regional security and prosperity." King Sinchi Roca II welcomed Vegno as "a valued partner in our shared vision for peace and stability," while Chancellor Betancourt emphasized "the strategic importance of Vegno's integration into the CATO framework." Federal Representative Montijo noted that "Vegno's membership strengthens the alliance's capability to address contemporary challenges."
Following the CATO signing ceremony, Vegno and Nouvelle Alexandrie concluded several bilateral agreements. Both nations signed the Cultural Heritage Protection and Exchange Agreement, which creates joint initiatives for preserving and promoting cultural heritage sites, including ambitious student exchange programs and shared museum exhibitions. The Green Technology Development Accord demonstrated both countries' commitment to environmental innovation, with each nation pledging funds toward joint research and development in sustainable energy technologies. Additionally, the Digital Innovation Partnership was formalized, leading to plans for a joint artificial intelligence research center in Cossa, supported by satellite facilities in Punta Santiago and Cárdenas. These agreements represented a significant deepening of bilateral relations between the two nations, spanning cultural, technological, and security domains. The day concluded with a concert at the Cossa Opera House, featuring performances by artists from all four CATO member states, symbolizing the cultural bonds between the allied nations.
Day Three: Mhazar Visit
The third day of the state visit saw the delegation travel to Mhazar, Vegno's second most populous city, via private flight from Cossa International Airport to the newly inaugurated Mhazar Airport. Upon arrival, King Sinchi Roca II and the delegation were welcomed by Mayor Peppino Teobaldo and members of the Mhazar City Council in a ceremony that featured traditional performances from local cultural groups. The morning's activities centered around a tour of the Mhacompare Arena, home to both Atletico Mhazar and AS Virtus Glovetese. The 33,000-seat stadium, Vegno's third-largest sporting venue, provided a backdrop for discussions about sports diplomacy and cultural exchange through athletics. The delegation was treated to a special exhibition match featuring youth teams from both clubs, with King Sinchi Roca II performing a ceremonial kick-off.
Following the sporting engagement, the delegation proceeded to the historic Duomo district, where an extensive technological exhibition had been arranged in the city's main square. The showcase, titled "Innovazione Vegnese," highlighted the nation's leading companies and their technological achievements. Cosmin Irrigazioni demonstrated their advanced agricultural systems, including AI-driven irrigation technologies and sustainable farming solutions. Linard Trasporti presented their ambitious plans for carbon-neutral transportation, featuring prototypes of their latest electric vehicles and renewable energy integration systems.
A particular highlight of the exhibition was the presentation by Sentient Solutions Inc, led by CEO Alighiero Sagese. The company demonstrated their groundbreaking artificial intelligence systems currently employed by the Vegnese government for regional fund management and healthcare optimization. The presentation sparked considerable interest from the New Alexandrian delegation, leading to preliminary discussions about potential technology transfer agreements.
The day's activities concluded with a traditional Mhazar dining experience featuring the city's renowned cuisine, including the famous bistecca alla Campoasciutto and local Sangiovanni wines from the nearby Mhazar-Campoasciutto region. During the dinner, hosted at the historic Palazzo Comunale, Mayor Teobaldo and King Sinchi Roca II exchanged commemorative gifts, with the King receiving a specially commissioned artwork depicting Mhazar's skyline crafted by local artisans.
Throughout the visit to Mhazar, the delegation was accompanied by large crowds of local citizens who lined the streets to welcome the visiting monarch, demonstrating the strong public interest in strengthening ties between Vegno and Nouvelle Alexandrie. The visit to Mhazar served to highlight Vegno's technological prowess while showcasing the nation's blend of traditional culture and modern innovation.
