[PRC] The Filipino Outreach

[Centurius]

While restoring old relations was important, being a good neighbour in the Pacific was perhaps at least as important. As such the President of the Phillippines would receive an encrypted e-mail from the President of China.

To: President Rodrigo Duterte, President of the Phillippines
From: President Yuan Zhi, President of the People's Republic of China

Subject: Diplomatic Relations

Mister President,

Through this message I would like to invite you to meet with myself in Beijing to discuss diplomatic relations between China and the Philippines, while we have historically had our disagreements there also have been times where we were on one line. As neighbours in the South China Sea and the Pacific as well as independent powers in a world more and more multilateral I believe there is potential for productive and healthy ties.

Sincerely,
Yuan Zhi

Greetings.

Thank you for contacting me. First of all, congratulations to your ascension to power.

I am currently in Russia for a state visit and will be heading for Japan next. But after my meeting with Japan, I can visit you in Beijing, if that would be fine with you.

Thanks and best regards,

Rodrigo Roa Duterte
President
Federal Republic of the Philippines

The Office of the President would respond in confirmation that this would be acceptable and if a specific date could be communicated in advance, preparations would be made.
