President Sulaiman Attends Yuan Economic Summit, But Backs Moreau After Controversial Move

XIANNEN - President Akram Sulaiman, in Xiannen, De Yuan, attending the Forum for Ausiana Annual Conference, defended President Atticus Moreau of Zamastan after his counterpart left the summit prematurely and traveled to Pangchu. The move, though applauded by many in the international community, has thrown the Yuaneze government off guard. Pangchu has historically been claimed by Yuan while most of the international community in the Coalition of Crown Albatross recognizes it as sovereign, but Moreau's visit solidified the stance of the Zamastanian State Department and pushes deeper into tensions between them and Yuan.

"I fully back Moreau and the Zamastanian government's stance on Pangchu sovereign right," Sulaiman said during a joint-press conference with Yuan's President Xi Jingyi and Barangadesh President Abdul Sheihk Mahmed. "I won't comment at the moment, due to present company, on the Emmirian stance on Yuaneze government operation, but Pangchu is sovereign and President Moreau has every right to meet with who he wants to meet."

Sulaiman's comments, seen by many as directly challenging President Xi, albeit with passing remark, is certain to further deepen tensions that have plagued Emmirian and Yuaneze diplomacy for months. From extensively increasing trade wars over drilling, fishing, commercial shipping, Yuan and Emmiria have been throwing punches at each other in the form of tariffs and sanctions.

Emmiria's Foreign Ministry has commented often on the situation of Yuaneze intervention in Pangchu, once going as far to call the internment of Panchua Muslim communities as a "horrendous display of coordinated human rights abuses."
