The Hokorian State will become a founding member of the International Pride Support Group (IPSG), the Prime Minister’s Office is pleased to share.

The Prime Minister’s Office, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Koru’s Office said:

The Hokorian State has always been a place that is built around equality, empowerment, respect and anti-fascism. Those principles have been at the core of the nation since its foundation back in April 2022.

Today, more than ever, we see vile hatred being spread and societies becoming more and more divided. One community in particular that is being attacked is the LGBTQIA+ community.

This is why we’re pleased to share that Hokoria will become a founding member of the International Pride Support Group (IPSG), alongside Curnon and Arbores, to help combat hate and protect the LGBTQIA+ people in our societies.

We look forward to working alongside Grand Premier Asa Ward of Curnon and President Mintz of Arbores.

The Koru will also sign the Joan Convention at the request of the Prime Minister, a convention to protect LGBTQIA+ people and their rights, after Hokoria withdrew by technicality following major constitutional reforms.

At the end of August, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs released a statement about standing firm on our principles abroad.
