To the Hon. Bruce McDouglas Minister of Foreign Affairs of The Liamese Empire 28 December 2017 Dear Sir, I have had the pleasure of receiving your letter notifying the decision of your government to establish formal diplomatic relations with the Commonwealth of Hindia Belanda, following high-level discussions between officials of our two countries. It is my greatest honour, therefore, to transmit to you through this letter that the Council of State of Hindia Belanda, being the highest executive body in the Commonwealth, has welcomed the decision with only the greatest delight and optimism. I hope that our sentiments are shared, likewise, by your government. It also pleases me to inform your government that His Majesty King Willem-Alexander, through his most loyal and faithful representative Governor-General Mohammed Salim, is most willing to grant credence and credit to all that Ambassador Frank McCarthy may communicate on behalf of His Imperial Majesty the Liamese Emperor during his tenure in the Commonwealth. A notification has been duly made to the relevant authorities in our country of the rights and privileges that your Ambassador may enjoy and use, which other foreign Ambassadors accredited to our Commonwealth do at present enjoy and use in accordance with international laws and resolutions. Permission is also given to the Liamese Chancery to construct a chapel within its premises. In making these decisions, the Commonwealth is hopeful that our endeavour to develop mutually respectful and cooperative ties may benefit our two countries in the most favourable manner and pave the way for closer relations in the years to come. Thus, in the spirit of mutual cooperation between our two sovereign nations, I avail myself of this opportunity to extend to Your Excellency the assurances of my highest consideration and distinguished sentiments.
