Dear Minister Gebeyehu,

We greet you warmly with the hope of affirming strong bilateral relations between our people. We feel that our nations have much to gain by mutual friendship and strong economic ties. With that said, we hope to secure a time and place to meet with you or your representatives in Addis Ababa. Our Ambassador has been copied on this email and his schedule has been attached. Please let us know the most convenient time for them to meet and we will send him there.

Of particular interest to us is opening trade between Ethiopia and Japan. We feel that our economies produce very different goods and could greatly benefit from high level exchanges. We are prepared to commit multiple ships to trade with Brazil.

Yours Sincerely,

池田 行彦

Minister for Foreign Affairs
