To the Xinjiang Foreign Affairs Office:
We have proposed to Pakistan that we establish a Consulate in Eastern Pakistan. It is assumed that Pakistan might request to establish a Consulate in Kashgar, Xinjiang, or another area, under the principles of reciprocity. What are the pros and cons of Pakistan establishing a Consulate in Xinjiang? Please ask for the opinions from the [Xinjiang] Autonomous Region’s Government and Party Committee, and notify our Ministry [of Foreign Affairs].
