Please convey my warm thanks to The Honourable Members of the Beithe Senate, and the Heads of Departments of Your Excellency’s High Council for their message of sovereign greetings, sent on this occasion of joyous moment.

Dear Minister Edward McCoy,

Thank you for your thread creation of 22 January 2019 allowing for a Parliamentary Confirmation into agreement of embassy exchange between the Allied States of The Isle of Beithe 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.

The Allied States 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 Beithen people during my visit to the thriving Capitol City. 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 2 February 2019, Parliamentary Motions — Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, which confirmed the letter of credence of Her Excellency Margaretha von und zu Köhler in her place as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Realm of Yohannes to the Allied States of The Isle of Beithe. 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 Beithen 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 2018-2019.

I would like to finish by acknowledging the important contribution His Excellency the President Ehrich Kemp 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
