Dear Foreign Secretary,
It is with great pleasure that I write this email to you, officially opening the line of communication between our two governments. As European neighbours and like-minded governments, whose nations have a long-shared history, the maintenance of a secure line of communication is vital to our mutual security and stability wider region. Thus, we have a preference for maintaining the current pre-existing arrangements made with former governments regarding the embassies, consulates and diplomatic staff exchanged between our states.
Anglo-German relations have been through thick and thin, both together and against one another, nevertheless, we would like to regard the UK as a close ally and pursue into the unknowns of the future with this close relationship. We hope you share the same thoughts and ideals. In such fashion, I would like to quell any concerns you may have regarding the status of prior bilateral agreements made with previous German administrations, that being we have no intention of repealing, withdrawing from or amending any prior and existing agreements with the UK at this current time.
Furthermore, I write to you to express our long-term desire to enhance Anglo-German relations. By further expanding our cooperation within the realms of business, trade, politics, defence and national security, science and society, among others, we have the potential to prosper and redefine the meaning of international and European relations for the better as we enter the new era.
I remain hopeful of the future and look forward to hearing your reply.
Sincerely,
Joschka Fischer
Vice-Chancellor and Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs
