Vulkarian Pass Expansion Project

As you know, Zamastan has been in support of this project for years during the developmental stages. We are still committed to providing the funding for the western entry and exit locks for the canal, as well as the security implementations that we believe are necessary along the pass.

Madam Gorsk, a recent article by the Tofino Times revealed the major security lapses in the canal, including lack of identity checks, a lack of security fencing, minimal personnel, and very few lighting posts for nighttime transferring through the pass.

Zamastan is still committed to the funding, as just stated, but these lapses need to be reviewed and fixed. Currently, in the security council, they are debating the threat made by the Malvarian government. In addition to state threats, the threat from terrorist groups is a pertinent and present one. A lone-wolf attacker seeking to cause damage could easily infiltrate the facilities along the pass at any exposed point. Vessels that dock for loading or port-side refueling are left without guard, so the threat of piracy and hijacking is also a real threat.

These issues need to be addressed and guaranteed before the expansion continues. We want this for a safe measurement of international shipping for the foreseeable future.
