Papers in abundance to sign, people to direct and an Emperor to keep informed with an ever changing international scene all contributing to his woes and yet Alexander von Koller felt calm. Before an assembled crowd of concerned international representatives and select members of the press, the Minister spoke in the measured, concise tone he'd become known for within the Imperial Diet alongside his staunch monarchist views. With firm words and stern eyes the Foreign Minister assured those present that the Imperial Army would be continuing with it's military exercises "[i]Which are and remain entirely defensive in nature. It is a nation's right to prepare it's ability to defend itself and it is that right which this Empire is exercising currently.[/i]" Alexander continued, assuring those concerned that Tyrian forces would be demobilized following the completion of their training exercises and not before or after should the Monarchy be continuingly faced with hostilities by it's neighbors. In a closing remark on the subject Alexander proclaimed that "[i]Only those who hold dark ambitions have anything to fear of the Imperial Army.[/i]" Later that week the Foreign Minister would also confirm that the Tyrian Empire would be sending a delegation in attendance of the International Conference called by Mullah Kahmar Mustafa. When asked for clarification on the Empire's aims by attending the Minister replied that the ultimate goal lay in "[i]Assuring the status quo and peace of fair Serranthia.[/i]" [CENTER][IMG]https://cdn.britannica.com/21/133521-004-8AC040D3.jpg[/img] [i]Photograph of Duke Alexander von Koller, Foreign Minister of the Tyrian Empire, Circa 1905[/i][/center] [hr][hr][b]OOC:[/b] - +1 to all actions of March - The Tyrian Empire will attend the International Conference.
