The Vishwamitra-Atlia Summit on Political and Diplomatic matters in Micronationalism, as the official name of the summit said, began at 21:30 Indian Standard Time for Vishwamitra and 11:00 Central Daylight Time for Atlia and lasted for about an hour and seven minutes. The Rashtradhyaksh Dhrubajyoti Roy represented the State of Vishwamitra, while the Prince Regent Luis Marcel represented the Kingdom. The opening of the summit took place with the formal playing of the national anthems of the two nations in the alphabetical order of the nations, with the Atlian national anthem "Himno del Reino de Atlia" being played first, followed by the "Shanti Hamara Laksha Hai", the Vishwamitran national anthem.
Certain topics of importance were finalised during the planning phase to be discussed during the summit, which included -
Internal and external politics in both nations
Diplomacy and how each nation conducts it
Diplomacy in the micronational community
Priorities in internal matters of every nation
Both the leaders gave their valuable opinions on the topics which added an element to the summit. Following the end of the formal discussion, the Treaty of Cooperation and Friendship was signed between the State of Vishwamitra and the Kingdom of Atlia simultaneously in physical versions which gave a boost to the existing relations between the two nations which were established through the signing of the treaty of mutual recognition on 23 August 2020. The treaty of cooperation and friendship designated 23 August every year to be celebrated as Atlia-Vishwamitra Friendship Day, a day to commemorate the close friendship between the two nations. Later, the two nations issued individual royal decrees to formally establish the day of commemoration. The treaty also designated that the two nations will cooperate to write and publish a joint booklet on the history, culture and relations between the two nations before the celebration of the first anniversary of the diplomatic relations.
