OPEN LETTER TO EMPRESS OF ROKKENJIMA
As Your Majesty chose to address her invitation through a public statement, instead of communicating their stance and offer of dialogue through conventional diplomatic channels, I have chosen to do similarly, in order the stance of my government is clear and, hopefully this time, without further disagreements.
I have no doubt about the colourful beauty that nature has granted to the nation of Rokkenjima, along with which its people have built through decades and centuries, and I will be happy to contemplate it myself if I have the chance to visit your nation. As far as my knowledge, since the Unitary of State of Mktvartvelo was established, no Prime Minister has visited Rokkenjima in official capacity. I could only be honoured if such honour was conceded to me. Even more, if my visit were to establish a better understanding between our nations, something that seems to be lacking right now.
Therefore, we can only agree with your assertion that the path of dialogue is more likely to be fruitful and bring a more positive outcome to all sides than the path of confrontation. The Unitary State of Mktvartvelo does not wish to have the First Empire of Rokkenjima, or any other nation, as an adversary. Even as bloodless and futile as a trade war, it is not in our interest to pursue one, which would only damage the interests and well-being of citizens in both nations, without offering anything to any side which can not be achieved, and with a much better result, through cooperation.
However, without than being an obstacle to such fair and reasonable aim, which I hope we can make true, I must remind you that the Unitary State of Mktvartvelo is a sovereign nation. As a sovereign nation, a nation has the right and duty to determine their future through their own actions and will. Therefore, the Unitary State of Mktvartvelo does not require to present its case to any audience to apply its own laws, no matter how honourable and respectful that audience may be. If this is not understood properly, I fear our misunderstandings may only increase. I, of course, do not deny such differences between both governments, differences which I am convinced that they can be solved, or least reduced through diplomacy, as I am convinced that the latest escalation of actions is not a product of necessity.
While diplomatic meetings with adversaries and even enemies, both categories which my government does not wish that they may be ever applied for relations between our nations, are possible, I would insist that such important visit as the once being offered is made under a better goodwill between both sides and order to reach a better understanding on a wide range of issues, in order to increase our understanding and possible cooperation to the highest outcome for both nations. Notwithstanding, Her Most High Majesty Brzdmtsveli Ketevan has suggested me to offer you an official invitation for an official visit to our nation, to reduce misunderstandings and explore cooperation between our governments. As it is only natural, that meeting could be only possible if the First Empire of Rokkenjima and the Unitary State of Mktvartvelo agreed to remove beforehand economic punitive actions imposed by the national executive of each nation.
For the time being, I suggest to abandon, for both sides, misleading and misgiven ultimatums and try to find a diplomatic resolution to the current situation. For that reason, I have decided to appoint a new ambassador to the First Empire of Rokkenjima. He will be able to explain properly the position of the Unitary State of Mktvartvelo in our ongoing misunderstandings to the audience that you choose.
Yours sincerely,
Brdzeni KvirkveliaPrime Minister of the Council of Minister
Office of the Premiership, Unitary State of Mktvartvelo
