The Malatian Chief of the Armed Forces, General Klumpia, had met with the Leader of the Republic National Assembly Bolt Cutius in a bid to reduce tensions.

Both the military and the Assembly have accused each other of being a threat to Malatia's stability.

Members of the Malatian Republic National Assembly have attacked President Xitin for the mass arrests involving former politicians and military commanders. In return, the Malatian army had issued a warning to the Assembly for attacking the President.

The escalating tensions between the army and the Republic Assembly led General Klumpia to arrange a meeting with the Leader of the Assembly in a bid to reduce the escalating tension.

During the meeting, General Klumpia assured Cutius that the military will respect the constitution and will not launch a coup, or take action against members of the Assembly.

"The Malatian military respects the constitution. We will support President Xitin and the Assembly too", said General Klumpia.

Both General Klumpia and Cutius had a short meeting in the Assembly building. Both later took a short walk in the Assembly Garden. Cutius was seen as having a worried  face during the walk.

According to a source, members of the Assembly are concerned that the military may launch a coup and send them to prison. The Malatian military had given a warning a few days ago that it will take action against anyone who criticise President Xitin.

The Malatian police has meanwhile enhanced security for members of the Assembly, and also the civilian ministers in the Malatian cabinet. 

​So far President Xitin has not issued any statement on the ongoing dispute between the military and the Assembly.
