The Vulkarian President, Farhen Brooks, met with President Foley Sakzi at the Zian Presidential Mansion on Sunday afternoon after sitting in on several hours of meetings with politicians in Congressional Hall. The Vulkarian leader, who has been commended internationally for his economic and civil policies but widely criticized for his handling of a rebel insurgency which has left thousands dead and tens of thousands more injured, met with Sakzi to discuss the ongoing insurgency, trade, and the Xiomera crisis.

"President Brooks is a friend to the Zamastanian people and to the wider international community," President Sakzi said during their bilateral press meeting. "The allegiances to the safety and smooth transitions of international trade through the Strait of Vulkaria in 2012 assured a greater economic boom for every nation in the world, regardless of belief."
"As for myself and the Vulkarian people," Brooks said, "we are forever grateful to the Zamastanian people and their brave men and women in the armed forces. They've come to our aid time and time again."
Zamastan has sent forces to Vulkaria numerous times throughout history, most famously from 1982-1991 in the First War in Vulkaria, and in 1999-2005 in the Second War in Vulkaria. Those wars combined killed nearly 60,000 Zamastanian soldiers, and it is estimated that upwards of 3 million civilians perished in both wars. The Malvarian Liberation Front (M.L.F.), classified as a terrorist group by most nations in the IDU, is an ever-present force in Vulkaria to this day, according to Zamastanian Defense officials.
In May 2019, President Anya Bishop halted Zamastan's support airstrike campaign in Vulkaria, which had been ongoing since October 2017. The move was heavily criticized, especially since the rebel insurgency had begun making dramatic gains in territory before and after the halt. Zamastan's current status in Vulkaria is limited to protective ground forces for Zamastanian interests.
