November, 5558
Pontesi - His Majesty, King Bassam II and Chief Minister Abdul Baari al-Nasr welcomed the Pontesian delegation to Abi'nadi earlier this month as the two nations seek to keep channels open due to rising tensions in southeast Majatra. The talks included high-level discussions on economic cooperation, coordinating the so-called "Istalian question" and, according to some but not officially announced, there were rumors of an arms deal brokered by the Majali family and the Pontesian government. This however, remains unconfirmed. The Kafuri Investment Authority announced following the end of the three day state visit, held in May, 5558 that they would be seeking directed investment into Pontesi and a number of Pontesian corporations that had sectors that were notable for the Kafuri people and the government. The Kafuri Investment Authority has continued to capitalize on significant wealth generated by Sharnaft and other oil and natural gas-based ventures as once again Terra feels "alive". The meeting comes at a time when the Kafuri government has had to contend with a number of radical Ahmadi factions targeting Istalian communist from Kafuristan, notably the Abadi Army for the Protection of Kafuristan (AAPK) which attacked the Istalian socialist on New Years Day a couple of years prior; it came at a time when a group of Pontesian delegates were attacked and the Istalian government failed to protect them according an internal report. Kafuristan condemned the attack on the Pontesian diplomats, noting that delegations are sacred at deserve the utmost protection. Despite the condemnation, the Kafuri government has refused to comment on any further diplomatic rows between the two nations. The Chief Minister, in Pontesi, highlighted the Majalite Kingdom's desire for peace throughout the continent and called for a peaceful, diplomatic solution to the row.
