Status: Private To: Jürgen Brandt, Minister of Transport, Germany Spitfire Re: Inquiry on german civilian transport equipment​

Dear Minister Brandt,​ I would like to commence by extending the warmest regards from the Government of the Federal Republic of Ethiopia and from our Prime Minister, Abyi Ahmed himself and would like to refer to a potential acquisition of german civilian equipment.​ ​ The Eco-Tourism National Park Program is a project that falls currently under my Ministry and that aims, among other things, to significantly boost the tourism industry in our country, by providing better infraestructure and experiences to both national and international visitors. As part of it, a big investment is being made in modernizing and expanding existing facilities, but also improving the tools and equipment with which our staff and rangers work. Their tasks include the safeguard of visitors and the enforcement of law within the National Parks as well as the conservation of flora and fauna.​ ​ It is due to that reason that we would like to inquire about the possibility of acquiring a different types of civilian transport vehicles from different german manufacturers. The german industry is well known for the quality of its products and would perfectly cover our current needs for the National Park Service.​ ​ This obviously could mean the start of a prosperous relationship between our countries, that might develop in the future into additional deals. ​ Respectfully,​ ​ La'qe Ayalew Minister of the Environment Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia Addis Ababa​

Dear Minister Ayalew,

On behalf of Germany and it's administration, may I first extend a warm hand of friendship to yourself and Ethiopia. It fills us with great joy that you wish to converse and have taken an interest in German exports.

We would certainly be delighted to discuss transport options with you, we have a great range of different brands which offer many advantages across many different areas. Whether you're looking for comfortable and luxurious tourist transport or more rugged and reliable working vehicles, we are sure that German technology would be a great asset to your country.

Are there any specific vehicle types you are interested in? May I suggest that we arrange for you to visit us in the city of Mannheim, which is the beating heart of our transport industry. There we can give you some in-person demonstrations of the vehicles in question.

I look forward to a bright future between our nations.

Kind Regards,

Jürgen Brandt,
Minister of Transport, Germany

With the date of the planned state visit having arrived, the ethiopian delegation led by the Minister for the Environment would board a commercial airliner together with the rest of the delegation and travel north to Germany in order to condcut the series of visits to german vehicle manufacturers and with the secondary objective of initiate talks to establish a direct flight between Addis Ababa and Berlin through Ethiopian Airlines.

All logistical information for the trip would have been previously informed through confidential communications to the german authorities in order to guarantee a seamless visit and secure the necesary vehicles for the National Parks Services. This would also be a great opporutnity to fosger german-ethiopian bilateral relations.
