President Hong,

Let me begin by saying that I find the actions of certain units within the
PLA peacekeeping force in North Korea to be highly unacceptable. My
government has come to expect a high level of professionalism within the
Chinese military and the inhumane acts of a minority of your soldiers
towards the civilians of North Korea very disconcerting. I trust your
government is sincere in the punitive steps it has begun.

The recent troubles between your country and the United States of America
are very troubling. It had been my intent to remain neutral but recent
actions undertaken by the American government has forced me to step in. The
operations undertaken by the CIA, verified by the GRU and SVR to be genuine
thanks to the evidence you supplied, is a gross violation of national
sovereignty and a complete violation of international law. I am sure you
know as well as I do that the Americans would be absolutely furious if they
had caught SVR or MSS operatives giving aid to insurgents in Iraq. Clearly I
condemn their actions.

Worse still, this ill-planned embargo that President Williams had threatened
your country with will clearly destabilize the global economy. If all of the
nations on earth are suffering through a recession, I fail to see how it
will help the already-desperate economic situation in North Korea.

So clearly my concern is great. I do not want this conflict to endanger the
stability of the Far East or the world. For that reason I would like to
inquire if you would be interested in attending a summit I wish to hold in
Vladivostok, with the leaders of America, Japan, and if they will attend
South Korea. You are the first foreign leader I have asked and I do not have
commitments from President Williams, Myung-bak or Prime Minister Sato.

Lastly, while the regrettable security situation in North Korea has force me
to withdraw our aid workers, the flow of food and medical aid from Russia to
the IRC in North Korea will continue.

With Regards,
Leonid Nemerenko,
President of Russia

Actions:
1) Give China a light slap on the wrists over PLA actions towards North
Korea civilians so Russia doesn't seem only concerned about the world
economy
2) Indicate that Russia is not pleased with the American threats of an
embargo or the gross violation of the principle of sovereignty
3) Ask if President Hong would be interested in a Russia-chaired summit
between Japan, America and China in Vladivostok
4) While Russia will no longer have aid workers on the ground, it will
continue to send food and medical aid
