The Empress Dowager wishes to announce an agreement reached with the Swiss Confederation:

Swiss-Chinese Cooperation Agreement

The Qing Empire and the Swiss Confederation wish for a peaceful cooperation between their nations, and wish to take several steps to promote the advance of their culture and economy:

One, the establishment of a chinese artisan's quarter in Bern, for which the Swiss Confederation shall contribute the necessary land, buildings and infrastructure while the Qing Empire will send artisans and tools.

Two, the sending of a delegation of swiss political and financial advisors as well as civil servants and administrators to aid in the Qing Dynasty's reform efforts.

Three, the establishment of the Swiss-Qing Exchange Bank as a means to easily resolve financial transactions between Europe and Asia, and as a first step towards the promotion of free trade and harmony.


In addition to these formal steps, the swiss people are looking forward to the prospect of a porcelain workshop, as the chinese porcelain is famous within Europe and such a gesture would bring much interest in chinese culture to our people.

The first steps for the Spanish Empire into the modern age of industry and mechanization have begun well.  The governments diplomatic corps will work to insure a system of friendly nations is in place to provide the materials and equipment necessary for Spain to reclaim its place among the top nations of Earth.

We must continue to push for unity amongst the Empire and here in Iberia itself, if we continue to fight amongst ourselves we will slip further behind the other nations of Europe and abroad that are great powers.  If the Spanish empire continues to tear at itself for only what it has now it will never reach its full potential of what it can be and we will have all failed to look out for the interests not only of ourselves but of our children and their children.

Spain also would like to take a minute to applaud those in Italy working to finish the uniting of their people and their move to their proper capital city.  It is also good to see Mexico working to put its chaos behind it and attempting to move forward united as well.  Events in Asia do trouble us slightly however.

The Austrian Empire

The Austrian Empire hopes to assuage any fears that might have arisen as a result of the Land Reform Act of 1861.  The purpose of the act was to make Austria strong, and better enable its industrialization by directing capital towards the modernization of our nation's economy.  We hope that the program will continue to grow an significantly grow our nation's economy and manufacturing base.  However, we are troubled by reports of rioting and looting.  All grievances are to be addressed in the proper forums and channels, of which, a mob is not. 

The Austrian Empire is pleased that the attempts to reform the military and the construction of a new military academy are proceeding according to schedule, and will hopefully lead to better performance of the army.

To the Germanies, Austria intends to protect you from the depredations of others and work with you such that the German people may be strengthened.  We encourage you to attend our Conference discussing a non-exclusionary Zollverein which will aid in these endeavors.

We are also gladdened that the nations of Russia and the United Kingdom were able to reach an agreement over the disposition of the Persian Empire.

With the resolution of internal conflict within our nation The Argentine Republic is interested in expanding our Agricultural exports to new markets.

[United Kingdom]

The United Kingdom shall accept the compromise in Persia. We are happy to see that relations between the British and Russian kingdoms may be strained, but agreements can still be made. The establishment of peace in Persia is our goal, and the furthering the growth of its people is our duty. It is not our intentions to hold on to our Persian territory, but to form a new government free from the Qajars. We will ensure that the last of their kind will be rooted out in order that prosperity will be ushered in.
