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 people, and the Nineteen Countries of the Yohannesian continent entrusted by electoral right upon me, I have judged it convenient to accredit to Your Excellency my trusted friend and former parliamentary colleague Ms Brigitte Pöpel in the character of my Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to the Republic of Gutulia.
Having already seen with certainty Ms Brigitte Pöpel’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 the Heads of Departments of Your Excellency’s court for their message of sovereign greetings, sent on this occasion of joyous moment.
Your Friend beyond The Seas,
MARION M

Dear Minister Harthamto Rikan,
Thank you for your thread creation of 1 February 2019 allowing for a Parliamentary Confirmation into agreement of embassy exchange between the Republic of Gutulia and the Realm of Yohannes. I am also responding on behalf of The Rt Hon First Lord Hilda von und zu Hartjenstein and The Hon Minister Emily Kirchweger to whom I report on the matter.
Gutulia and the Nineteen Countries, I believe, share the same values of embassy and consulate partnership, of responsible government, and a history of open diplomacy—three important things to realising a harmonious relationship between two nation-states. I have been impressed also by the good manner of the Gutulian people during my visit to the prosperous city of Jalita. It is for that reason that I would like to acknowledge the strength that you have shown, and are showing, in realising the principles of democracy and equal rights for all before the law. Your governing principles align well with the fourth introductory principle of the Rule of Law of our nation-state. That is why I am committed to realising this embassy exchange agreement.
Following the discussion held by our respective diplomats behind the scenes over the last few weeks, I would like to clarify that parliament did finally issue their assent on 23 March 2019, Parliamentary Motions—Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, which confirmed the letter of credence of Her Excellency Brigitte Pöpel in her place as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Realm of Yohannes to the Republic of Gutulia. 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 Electoral Debates Hansard website shortly.
I am keen to encourage Yohannesian businesses to participate in the Gutulian market. As I suggested based on the discussion at our last meeting, I believe that new commerce and trade between companies of our respective citizen sectors may offer new opportunities to maintain our respective nations’ growth target for the fiscal year 2019-2020.
I would like to finish by acknowledging the important contribution the government of His Excellency Jaka Widaya is making to the cause of open diplomacy and the principle of open embassy exchange between members of the international community of nations and regions. I hope that I will be able to attend the Ambassador Introduction event next week, and I look forward to seeing you then.
Yours sincerely,
MARGARET
