> I mean this is state-state business and communication, not Jack and Joe Nobody. It is not state-state business and communication. That kind of thing is not done on Twitter. At all.

There are other mechanisms for that (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protecting_power https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protecting_power and agreements brokered through other 3rd party diplomats like http://www.parstimes.com/history/algiers_accords.pdf http://www.parstimes.com/history/algiers_accords.pdf).
