His Excellency the Imperator Alsonius Lontilii
The Honourable Minister Avitus Caprica
Presiding Officer of the Miles-Regium



The Peoples of Birtonia,
In the Name of Friendship and Love;

Being desirous to create without interruption the representation at Your Excellency’s court of the interests of my kingdom, Alexandria, and the nineteen countries of the Yohannesian continent entrusted by electoral right upon me, I have judged it expedient to accredit to you, good Sir, my trusted friend and former law colleague Ms Natalie Norström in the character of my Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary in Birtonia.

Having already seen with certainty Ms Natalie Norström’s fervour and talent for My service, I doubt not that she will realise the important duties of her Embassy in such a manner as to merit Your Excellency’s assent and esteem, and to prove herself worthy of this new mark of My confidence.

Please convey my warm thanks to Members of the Miles-Regium and the Ministers of Your Excellency’s government for their message of sovereign greetings, sent on this occasion of joyous moment.

Dear Minister Caprica,

Thank you for your email of 27 September 2017 in support of a motion calling for a Parliamentary Confirmation into agreement of embassy exchange between Birtonia and the nineteen countries of the Yohannesian continent. I am also responding on behalf of the Rt Hon Chancellor Annabelle Thorndon-Stevensonn and the Hon Minister Emily Kirchweger to whom you also wrote on the matter.

I want to thank you for meeting with me on Friday 22 September to update me on the agreement of embassy exchange between Birtonia and the nineteen countries of the Yohannesian continent, and to also acknowledge your open letter to parliament dated 28 September 2017. As discussed during our meeting, I understand the importance of finalising this diplomatic exchange between our two nation states. Birtonia and the nineteen countries, with no lack of certainty, share the same values of embassy and consulate partnership; of responsible governance; and a history of open diplomacy: three important things to realising a harmonious relationship between two nation states. I have also been impressed by the good manner of the Birtonian people during my visit to the thriving region of The Spire. I would like to acknowledge further the strength that you have shown, and are showing, in furthering the economic and social well-being of your people. Your governing principles align well with the eighth introductory principle of Economy and Industry of our nation state. That is why I am committed to realising this embassy exchange agreement.

Following on the discussion and meeting held by our respective diplomats behind the scene over the last few weeks, I would like to clarify that parliament did finally issue their assent on 29 September 2017, Parliamentary Motions — Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary: Imperial Birtonia, which confirmed the letter of credence of Ms Natalie Norström in her place as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Nineteen Countries in Birtonia. A copy of the Executive Council’s response and parliament’s final assent and report of stipulations in their entirety will be published on the Collegian and Parliamentary Hansard website shortly.

I am keen to encourage Yohannesian businesses to participate in the Birtonian market. As I said during the meeting, I also note that new commerce and trade between companies of our respective citizen sectors may offer new opportunities to maintain our respective nation states’ growth target for the fiscal year 2018-2019.

I hope that I will be able to attend the Ambassador Introduction event in November, and I look forward to seeing you then.



Yours sincerely,

MARGARET

Hon Margaret Rose Larsson
