Your Excellency,

First of all, I would like to congratulate you and President Ming on your recent elections as well as the greater transition of the Chinese people away from tyranny.

As two major powers on the world scene, France and China have throughout most of the past several centuries maintained some kind of relationship. In recognition of your ongoing position of power within Asia and our own influential position in Europe I would like to propose the establishment of formal relations between the Chinese and French states. It is my understanding that President Ming is currently in Moscow as part of a state visit. I would hereby like to extend a formal invitation for the President to travel to Paris upon the conclusion of the state visit to Russia where the Empress would be more than excited to host her.

Sincerely,
Sophie Dubois,
Ministre de l'Europe et des Affaires étrangères,

Your Excellency,

Thank you for your congratulations, I will relay them to President Ming as well.

It is correct that she is currently meeting in Russia with President Nemtsov and will probably be engaged there for another three days. Upon the conclusion she can travel to Paris instead of returning home immediately.

Please arrange for the processes to allow the plane with the information attached to this message into your airspace, we will communicate a more precise date when we know exactly when business in Moscow is concluded.

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

With the Chinese giving a positive response to the French outreach effort, the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs would lay the groundwork for President Ming's visit to Paris. In this they would coordinate with the Ministry of the Armed Forces and other relevant Ministries and government departments to guarantee a smooth transition from the conclusion of their visit to Russia to their flight to France. The Ministry would also contact their counterpart in China to coordinate the timing. Once all was done now it was just a matter of waiting for the Chinese to arrive.
