It is a shame that Colonial and Imperialist aggression have historically impeded the normal development of friendly relations among our peoples. We sincerely hope that this may process may be reversed and that our peoples cooperate in the near future for the benefit of all. We assure you that, to the extent of our limited capabilities, the peoples of Mexico will stand together with free territories resisting Western and Capitalist aggression.

We thank the United Peoples of Mexico for their kind words and wish for the future to be one of cooperation with the sovereign people of Latin America.

While my predecessor recently turned down a reasonable and friendly overture for the opening of diplomatic relations with the Bharatiya Commune, The staff of the Foreign Ministry wishes to convey our warmest regards to the people of the Commune and our sincere apologies to our colleagues as regards the flawed statements of the former foreign minister- colored by an insufficient understanding of His Majesty the Emperor's position and since corrected by not only His Majesty, but the people of Japan.

It is the will of both that this government promote friendly relations and peaceful coexistence between our peoples. In the interest of doing what is in this ministry's power to foster friendship and support for the peoples of Bengal, as well as respecting the similar decision by our colleagues in Delhi, we offer our own hand in friendship- if the Commune is still so inclined, Japan would be pleased to make arrangements for opening diplomatic relations between our two governments.

Sincerely,
Hirota Kōki, Minister for Foreign Affairs

It is with the sorrow of those betrayed at Saqifah that His Most High Majesty, Mohammed Hassan Shah, notes both the growing repression of the All-India Muslim League by the Syndicalist forces in Bengal and the amicable attitude which our Japanese friends now display towards those terroristic actors. While it may be true that the supposed 'Bharatiya Commune' has offered token gestures of sympathy to impoverished Muslims under their "rule", the bombing of Muslim civilians is not only deplorable from the perspective of the salafiyya movement but from a humanitarian one under international law. This we condemn with a heavy heart but a clear conscience, for the onus of remedying this situation is on the hands of the Commune's "leadership" - a movement such as the Syndicalists, which promises a better day for the downtrodden and disenfranchised, has no moral grounding to launch such brutal attacks directly targeting civilians.

The Shah, accordingly, calls for an immediate halt to aggressive actions against supporters of the All-India Muslim League and for the Commune to practice what its atheistic ideology preaches, and begin pursuing avenues for the self-determination of Bengali Muslims. To that extent, should the Commune not comply, we will take the proper steps under international law to curtail these regrettable actions in Bengal, as an ethical means to protect our brothers and sisters.

We likewise, unfortunately, must condemn any and all overtures of the Chrysanthemum Throne -which we believe to be misguided as opposed to cynical, knowing Japan to be otherwise a friend of the post-colonial world- regarding friendship with a state that suppresses its Muslims and legitimate political movements so brutally.

While we disagree with His Majesty the Shah and his honored representatives, in our belief that opening diplomatic relations is the best means for Japan to advocate for bettering the situation of the Commune's citizens,we are in agreement that the actions of the Commune towards its Muslim populace is deeply disturbing.

Our counterparts in the Commune should be aware that while the Foreign Minister of Japan is committed to the building of a dialogue between the people of Japan and those of Bengal, as the latter includes a vast population of Muslims, Japan cannot remain mute while such abuses are heaped on them- as such, any future diplomacy between the Empire of Japan and Bharatiya Commune must include the matter of the Commune's treatment of its civilian Muslim population.

While we naturally support the establishment of diplomatic relations with Japan, it must be noted that the so called "Muslim League" are an armed rebel group seeking to undermine the Communal Government. The Bharatiya Commune has committed itself to improving the standards of living for all living within its borders, but can only do so much when facing an internal rebellion.

We would invite Japan to mediate should this conflict escalate further.

Iran notes that the concerns over the Commune's increasing civilian death toll were not at all addressed.

The Bharatiya Commune officially recognizes the Socialist Republic of Panama as the legitimate government and representatives of its people. We call on the illegal occupiers in the West to withdraw from Panama and pay reparations for damages done.

As does Japan. While we acknowledge the Commune's statement that they are fighting militants of the Muslim League, our primary objection lies with attacking villages full of civilians as if they were military targets. As we speak, there are now masses of Muslims governed by the Commune who, if not killed in the bombing of their homes, are now bereft of adequate shelter, nutrition, and access to proper medical care.

As it stands, the Commune absolutely has options for aiding its Muslim populace- the least of which would be to refuse to target noncombatants and to allow access to an international Red Cross and Red Crescent (and Red Lion and Sun) delegation to assess the situation of the refugees from this bombing campaign and coordinate relief for them. Perhaps a representative of the commune would like to further discuss the matter with a Japanese consul to Calcutta?

The Bharatiya Commune is preparing an aid mission to the affected areas as we speak, but we would not be opposed to a Red Crescent mission to help us provide relief to the innocents caught in the crossfire of this war. We of course, would be more than happy to discuss solutions with the Japanese Government.
