Malatia Condemned Wingo's Hardline Policy

In the first of its kind in Malatia, the leader of Malatia, Field Marshal Nutyubrick, has appeared on Brikvanian National TV to answer questions from the regional media centres.

Nutyubrick first outlined the Malatian foreign policy of promoting peace and stability in the region but subsequently condemned Rito Wingo, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Lego.

When asked if Malatia was a threat to NARTO, Nutyubrick replied: "Don't you have any common sense at all? Do you see what Wingo has done? He has expanded Lego's military, and deployed his troops near our border. He has threatened even other NARTO countries to follow his policy. Who is the aggressor now?"

"Malatia makes friend with other countries, and Wingo threatened Brikvania for establishing relations with Malatia. We did not threaten anyone now", added Nutyubrick.

Nutyubrick condemned Wingo's foreign policy which he said will lead to war. 

"Wingo forced the Kingdom of Suva to deploy its troops in Balklands Island, which was annexed from Malatia. We do not recognise the annexation as the Peace Agreement did not cover Balklands Island," claimed Nutyubrick.

The Malatian government has not confirmed if they would deploy military forces to retake Balkland Island, although the Malatian Navy has been put on alert. Two Malatian frigates have been sighted off the coast of Balklands Island.

The island is located 24 km from Suva and was recently occupied by the Suvanese military. The Kingdom of Lego claimed the island was to be given to Suva as part of the annexation of Malatian territories at the end of the last regional war. Malatia however disputed this claim.
