ROC | Message to Russia

[Zebra]

Close friends and allies under previous administrations, both Russia and China had seen significant shifts. As the largest country in the world, a producer of resources vital to the Chinese economy and a country with the potential of exerting incredible influence on Asia while also acting as a bridge to Europe, President Ming had a strong interest in building relations with the new Russian administration. As such she had tasked Minister Yuan with the task of reaching out to her Russian counterpart to setup a presidential meeting between the leader of the world's largest country in population and the leader of the world's largest country in area.

Your Excellency,

Throughout history the Russian and Chinese peoples have often balanced between allies, ambiguity, enemies, and open war. It is the hope of myself and the Acting President that this is one of those times where we may be able to call ourselves allies. Both Russia and China are on similar trajectories in embracing liberal democracy and full freedom for our peoples, and I believe there is much we can learn from each other and support each other to make both our experiments with true government for the people truly successful.

As such the Acting President has asked me to propose a formal meeting between herself and President Nemtsov in either Moscow or Nanjing depending on your country's preference. Topics to be discussed at these meetings would include the status of the Russian and Chinese nations, trade relations, cultural ties (with an emphasis on the similarities between our peoples in the Russo-Chinese border regions, relaxation of border controls, foreign policies and if the rest of the meeting would allow for such a topic, defense cooperation.

I hope you will be open to these proposals and we look forward to your response.

Kind regards,
Yuan Jia,
Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China.

Your Excellency, I trust this message finds you well. Thank you for reaching, we have received your message with a positive light. The official position of the Russian Federation has been the continued respect for the internal affairs of China including its self-determination over its political affairs. His Excellency President Nemstov is eager to see the positive developments in China and hopes your government will remain on the path forward towards a strong and independent democracy in East Asia. He is hopeful to have honest and frank dialogues with his Chinese counterpart. A major concern however is the powers of this transitional government, and if it is appropriate for the Chinese President, in her acting capacity, to carry out an official state visit to the Russian Federation, which is our preference, and what are her legal powers. Based on your response, we would be happy to discuss the possibility of extending a formal invitation to the Acting President to visit the Russian Federation for a state visit and allow the Presidents of Russia and China to have a comprehensive discussion. I hope you will be open to these proposals and we look forward to your response. Best regards, Yuri Nikolaev Senior Presidential Advisory for Foreign Affairs Russian Federation

Your Excellency,

The Republic of China appreciates and respects the Russian position with regards to China''s internal affairs. China likewise respects the internal affairs of the Russian Federation.

Per the Constitutional Assembly pending the January 2004 Presidential elections Acting President Ming has been granted the full powers of the Presidential office. While her decisions are subject to oversight by the Transitional Government of the Republic of China, her commitments hold the full power of the Chinese state. As such in her capacity she is able to discuss matters with President Nemstov with the mentioned power of the Chinese state. Any commitments made will carry over to the new government post-ratification. It should also be added here that per all polls the new governments will almost certainly consist of the same parties as make up the Transitional Government. I hope this addresses your concerns.

The Chinese state desires positive relations with Russia and such we are open to all the mentioned offers.

Kind regards,
Yuan Jia,
Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China.
