The Nusantaran Minister of Foreign Affairs, Angkasa Song, accepts the Cantonese invitation, and boards a plane to Kwangchow. Being of Hakka descent herself, she would make plans to visit the town of Sanhe in Dabu County after the meeting, with the village being the place where her ancestors migrated from.

As the delegation's plane lands on Kwangchow, Minister Song is greeted by Dayue officials, including Foreign Minister Kwan Cheng-chun. Minister Kwan greets her with the friendly demeanor of an old and experienced diplomat, while the security forces made sure that the journalists surrounding them don't overstep. The delegation is immediately brought to the meeting venue. After reaching the place and taking their seats properly, Minister Kwan begins with a greeting.

"Here we are, I hope that you've found yourself a warm welcome right here in Kwangchow. I believe you are of Hakka descent yourself?"

Minister Kwan delivers some pleasantries in Hakka, although a bit accented in his speech.

"I've learned Hakka myself, although I did not perfect it. I am personally of Zhuang descent, born and raised in Baise. So apologies for the accent. Although I do find it intriguing that you are to visit your ancestral village here, something to be appreciated."

Song would smile and wave to the press upon arrival, bowing politely to Minister Kwan upon greeting him.

"Yes, I am of Hakka descent, my ancestors moved to Borneo around 200 years ago as part of the Làn-fông Khiung-fò-koet, or Lanfang Company. Today my family lives in the city of Pontianak, which is where I am from." She smiles as he comments on his accent. "No worries, I appreciate the effort, though to be honest, I rarely speak Hakka anymore. Usually I just speak Nusantaran, along with many of my fellow countrymen. Yes, I believe it is important to visit our ancestral homelands if we ever get the chance, as a way to connect to our past, and to help solidify our own understanding of self.

"Anyways, enough philosophy, I believe you had a reason for this meeting? I trust it is a friendly meeting, and not a preamble for further tensions in our region."
