Your Excellency,

While the history of the United States and the Empire of Japan has been defined by conflict for much of the 19th and early 20th centuries, ever since the two states have shared close ties. Even now the United States continues to have a deep impact on Japanese culture, our way of governance and even the very architecture of our country. As you may be aware we have recently re-established a strong and effective government following a period of internal disturbances. While we continue addressing these disturbances, we have reached a state where we are looking to open up to the outside world again. While several countries have reached out to us already, you are the first we are reaching out to.

The Empire of Japan seeks to restore the relationship we once shared, to begin that process I would like to request a meeting between your Department and our Ambassador in Washington, D.C. If you will agree Ambassador Miho Kuroda can meet at any day and time. I look forward to your response.

Kind regards,
Su Miyamoto

ENCRYPTED MESSAGE​

TO: Su Miyamoto, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire of Japan ( Tokugawa )​

FROM: Luke Adams, Secretary of State of the United States of America

Minister Su Miyamoto,

Thank you for your kind message. Regardless of any past difficulties in the relationship between the United States and Japan, the Federal Government is committed to work with all other countries that have governments who are willing to work with us. It is straightforward to see what makes us different, and it is easy to allow these things to divide us, but it is more noble to find what we have in common and to work from there. It is the hope of this administration, and the American People, that we can work with as many other countries of the world as possible to make the world a better, safer, and freer place.

I have spoken with the President, and he would be happy to accept Miho Kuroda as the Japanese Ambassador to the United States. Once the ambassador is settled in Washington, I would be happy to arrange a meeting with a representative from the State Department in Washington.​

Best regards,

Luke Adams
Secretary of State
