Dear Minister Marsudi,
It comes as a great pleasure to us to see that a strong and stable government has taken the reins of power within Indonesia. I would like to take this time to congratulate you and your administration, on behalf of the Japanese government and peoples, to your success in achieving so.
As we are both regional and global powers, I would like to see that Japanese - Indonesian relations are strengthened to form a close friendship. To reach such bond, I would like to request the construction of a Japanese naval base in the Papua town of Merauke. We believe that this would benefit both parties; as your administration is rather new, it can be understood that your armed forces are rather small in number, with this base, you can be assured of Japanese assistance and aid. This also aids in the tackling of piracy and negative foreign influences within the Asian continent. We ofcourse will cover the costs of the project and provide your government with a large financial boost.
We will indeed look forward to your reply, as a lot can be acheived between us.
Sincerely,
Junichiro Koizumi
Ministry of Foreign Affairs
