Guten Tag Ine Marie Eriksen Søreide,

I would love to come to Olso for an official state visit. This is long over due. I hold diplomatic relations with Norway to be of the upmost importance. Since joining the Nordic Council. we have established very close relations with Sweden. We want to hold the same level of closeness with all members of the Nordic council. I would like to schedule a visit at your earliest convenience. I will be flying in on a Airbus A340-313X VIP. I will be accompanied by a small 5 man security and 5 diplomatic staff. I will leave the other details of my stay in your very capable hands.

I look forward to meeting you.

Regards,
Helmut Kohl
Federal Chancellor
Federal Republic of Germany

Hello Mr. Frank Bakke-Jensen,

I do regret to inform you that I will be unable to attend our meeting in Oslo. With the untimely death of the Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn in the Rattanakosin Kingdom, I must attend the funeral in Bangkok. I do hope that we can reschedule for next month. Hopefully we can find a time that we will both be available for a meeting in Oslo. Please forward the next available time Prime Minister Erna Solberg is available and we can make this an official state visit.

Regards,
Helmut Kohl
Federal Chancellor
Federal Republic of Germany

Subject: Request for a Video Conference

Hello Mr. Frank Bakke-Jensen,

My name is Klaus Kinkel. I am the Vice Chancellor and Minister of Foreign Affairs to the Federal Republic of Germany. I am contacting your office today in hopes of setting up a video conference with your Foreign Affairs office. As Federal Chancellor Kohl has been delayed in Southeast Asia, it may be some time before he is able to have a formal visit to Oslo. With the current economic situation in Russia threatening to spill over into the rest of Europe, we feel it is important that we begin formal talks on economic cooperation, international trade, and our current roles within the Nordic Council. I have plenty of availability this week for video conference or phone call with a member of your government who is authorized to make decisions regarding economic and trade policy. Please let me know who that might be and when they would have opening in their schedules. I believe that by working closely together, member nations of the Nordic Council will weather this storm, thereby strengthening the bonds of brotherhood between our nations.

I do hope to hear from your office soon.

Regards,
Klaus Kinkel
Vice Chancellor and Minister of Foreign Affairs
Federal Republic of Germany
