AUTHENTIC COMMUNIQUE OF THE OFFICE OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS Security Clearance: Secure and Encrypted |
[Recipient]: Office of the President of the United States < Odinson > [Sender]: Office of the President of the Russian President < MAnatova@Kremlin.ru.gov > [Subject]: Bilateral Relations |
Your Excellency President-Elect Sinclair I extend my heartfelt congratulations to you on your recent election victory and forthcoming inauguration as the President of the United States of America. Your election to this esteemed office symbolizes not only the trust and confidence bestowed upon you by the American people but also marks a significant milestone in the journey of your great nation. It is my hope that peace, justice, and the welfare of humanity will guide you forward. The serious global and regional challenges that have emerged in recent years underscore the crucial role that the relationship between Russia and the United States plays in maintaining stability and security in the modern world. Our two nations possess significant influence, and our collaboration is vital for addressing these challenges effectively. When elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers. For far too long our struggle has left the world in a state of shambles. However, it has also been proven that when our two great nations work together we can do good that heals the world. As you undoubtedly have many phone calls and receive and are prepared to form a cabinet as you take your new position, I am hopeful that we can engage in a constructive and pragmatic dialogue to restore and enhance the framework of bilateral cooperation between our countries. It is my belief that by working together, we can achieve meaningful progress and elevate our level of collaboration on the international stage to new heights. The slogan of your campaign, American Renaissance is a very fascinating choice. Deriving from its European roots meaning rebirth, I hope that you will truly embody that origin. The office of the President is the highest office in both our respective nations. The office you are about to assume is filled with poison as much as it is filled with luxury. It is filled with dangers as much as it is filled with opportunity. It is filled with strength just as much as it is filled with constraint. The duty to your nation is a sacred oath, one in which you have shed blood to uphold. I have no doubt you will be a great statesman as you have already proven. The American Renaissance has the ability to also become a global renaissance. On the campaign trail you pledged to normalized relations with the Russian Federation work with the Federation because the world would be a much safer and better place if the United States and Russia could put some trust into each other. I know that the American people felt reassured by your commitment to achieving a just world. I believe that the American people, just as like the Russian people, are peace-loving people. I look forward to seeing positive steps to build the type of trust necessary to bring about that world vision. In this spirit, I extend my sincere wishes to you and your family. May you enjoy good health, happiness, and success in all your endeavors. I look forward to the opportunity of working together and advancing our mutual interests for the benefit of our nations and the global community. I hope you will humbly accept my advice and that you have received it well. I look forward to our first official call as Presidents and wish to extend to you the same courtesy I extended to incumbent President Gore. As President of the Russian Federation, I extend my heartfelt desire for you to visit the Federation and extend an open offer to you and your family to visit. Whenever it may be most convenient, I am eager to see the continued positive relations between our nations and wish you well and good health. With best regards, Boris Nemstov, President of the Russian Federation |
