?Pleace accept my warm congratulations on your becoming løgmaður of the Faroe Islands. Britain and the Faroes both have comparatively new governments in office. We also have conciderable economic interests in common. I hope your appointment can mark a fresh start in our discussions about oildelimitation. We are ready to search for an early settlement, which I am sure you also desire. Our aim is to reach an equitable agreement of mutual benefit as between friendly neighbours. I whery much hope, that we shall be able to work together.
With every good whish for your time in government.?
Robin Cook
