From: Me Minkhaung, Queen of Myanmar

Your Excellency,

On behalf of the Imperial Government of Myanmar, I extend respectful greetings and appreciation for the continued engagement between our two nations. As regional dynamics continue to evolve, it is imperative that we reaffirm our mutual commitment to peace, stability, and the protection of sovereignty in the Indo-Pacific region.

We write to bring to your attention a growing concern regarding the increasingly aggressive posture of the Socialist Republic of Thailand. Over the past several years, Thailand has undertaken a series of actions that have raised serious alarms across Southeast Asia and beyond. These include, but are not limited to:

• Direct military confrontations with and invasions of Laos and Cambodia;
• Interference in the Spanish-American dispute over Puerto Rico;
• Unauthorized deployment of warships and armed sailors into Canadian territorial waters and ports;
• The dispatch of armed personnel and armored vehicles—including anti-tank weaponry—to New Caledonia, under the pretext of humanitarian assistance;
• Naval operations through Australian waters;
• Active involvement in the Franco-Canadian conflict;
• Political intervention in the internal affairs of the Republic of Turkey; and
• Most notably, the unprovoked invasion of Myanmar by Thai forces one year ago.

The recent consolidation of power by Thailand’s communist government has only heightened regional anxieties. Based on past and current behavior, it is our informed belief that with the removal of Myanmar’s military government will invite renewed efforts by Bangkok to subvert and influence our sovereign institutions and likely attempt once more to instigate insurgencies within our borders.

In light of these pressing concerns, and in the spirit of safeguarding peace and our territorial integrity, the Empire of Myanmar formally requests the purchase of the following defense systems from the United States:

• x6,520 units of the Switchblade 600 Loitering Munition;
• x4 Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) vessels; and
• x16 Sikorsky HH-60G Pave Hawk Search and Rescue helicopters.

Additionally, to ensure operational readiness and self-defense capability, we seek United States assistance in maintaining the following assets already acquired:

• x15 Spruance-class Destroyers;
• x15 Sikorsky SH-60B Seahawk helicopters;
• x240 Lockheed Martin F-16C/D Block 52+ multirole fighters; and
• x2 Lockheed Martin AC-130H Spectre gunships.

To help defray the cost of this cooperation and to enhance bilateral defense integration, the Empire of Myanmar is prepared to offer the United States strategic access to a naval and air force base within our territory. We hope that by offering you bases to operate militarily from Myanmar, that the equipment we desire to purchase will be heavily discounted.

We trust that this proposal will be received in the spirit of partnership and shared strategic interest. We look forward to working closely with your esteemed department toward a stable and secure Indo-Pacific.

Sincerely,
Me Minkhaung
Queen of Myanmar, Princess of Hsipaw
Empire of Myanmar
