Secretary Ryan,
I hope you are in good health and high spirit. I sincerely wish for the prosperity of the United Kingdom.
First and foremost, please accept my personal and formal apologize for the oversight on our international relation division, which has failed to recognize and notify the United Kingdom of our patrolling operation within the Mediterranean Sea. I do not take this lightly and admit the failure on our part to not acknowledge such a long-standing geopolitics reality that the British nation has always maintained a presence in Cyprus.
I would like to formally notify and inform, albeit delayed, the British Government and her Armed Forces of the Republic Thai Navy Middle East Command patrolling operation within the Mediterranean Sea. This operation, spearheaded by the Naval Expeditionary Group Five, is intended to protect and guarantee the longevity of free trade, ensure a constant rapid response force, and uphold the common interests of humanity.
I have been made aware of the intelligence that the British assets, specifically a reconnaissance aircraft, might be operating within the region. This is not meant to be provocative but is intended to affirm our acknowledgment of your legitimate presence in the Mediterranean. I want to assure your nation and her government that the Republic Thai Armed Forces poses no threat to the sovereignty of the United Kingdom, nor we intend to harm the peaceful and stable environment of the vital maritime region.
I thank you for considering this notification. Please accept, your excellency, my highest regard of the British nation and its people.
Sincerely,
Ampika Sukprasert
Supreme Command and Chief of Middle East Defense Force
Republic of Thai Armed Forces Middle East Command
