Subject: Cessation of Hostilities
Classification: SECURE
Mr Prime Minister,
The outbreak of hostilities between the Kingdom of Belgium and Haut Royaume de France has come as a total shock to my government. It has always been my government's aim to promote peace and prosperity on the European continent and this conflict threatens those aims. Not only does it bring a return of armed conflict to North Western Europe not seen since the end of the Second World War, but it also places the lives of thousands of innocent civilians at risk.
Therefore, my government wishes to enter constructive negotiations with your government to enact a cease fire between Belgium and France, as well as ensure the return of peace to the region.
Yours Sincerely,
Maximiliaan Theunissen
Minister of Foreign Affairs
