Summary[edit]

Description
English: On October 3 1990 Germany became a unified nation again after 45 years of existing as two separate countries. The joining together of the German Democratic Republic (also known as East Germany) and the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) was the culmination of the process of reunification which had begun in 1989. The united Germany is considered to be the enlarged continuation of the earlier Federal Republic and not a successor state. As such, it retained all of West Germany's memberships in international organizations including the European Community (later the European Union) and NATO, while relinquishing membership in the Warsaw Pact and other international organizations to which only East Germany belonged. ‘German Unity Day’ is celebrated annually in Germany in the state capital of the German state presiding over the federal council of that year. Frankfurt is going to be the second non-state capital to host the celebrations in 2015

The reunification of Germany led to changes in how other countries dealt with the newly united nation.

The correspondence detailed here is from the New Zealand Embassy In Paris. The correspondence refers to how New Zealand would end relations with the defunct Democratic Republic of Germany which operated through Vienna. Instead all relations with the unified Germany would run through the embassy in Bonn. Also noted is the fact that East German passports would still be valid and tourists would have the same visa entitlements for visiting New Zealand as West Germans previously had.
