How did Molotov reply to the letter from the Soviet government to the foreign minister of Nazi Germany?

Molotov took out the Soviet government's reply to the letter from the foreign minister of Nazi Germany. At the beginning, this reply sharply traced the Nazi government's previous hostile acts against the Soviet Union, and said: "Until recently, the Soviet government always thought that the German government was looking for opportunities for conflict with the Soviet Union ... not to mention that the German government used the so-called anti-communist convention to establish and have established an anti-Soviet United front, including some countries." Molotov explained: "It is for this reason that the Soviet Union participated in the organization of a joint defense front against German aggression."

Molotov then pointed out: "Even so, if the German government wants to change its past policies and is prepared to seriously improve its political relations with the Soviet Union, the Soviet government welcomes it and is prepared to revise its policies in this regard in order to seriously improve its relations with Germany." The Soviet government believes that such a desire of Germany should be realized through "serious and practical steps" and should not be too big as suggested by German Foreign Minister Liebentrop.
