Newswire:

Commonwealth Ambassador Nino Arnoldo will be visiting Nigeria on an official diplomatic mission in mid-1961. Topics of the talks are undisclosed, but it is believed that the more advanced Italy will be asked to provide aid in some form to the African country.

The Scandic Union would like to ask about the possibility of a defensive agreement with Italy?

Newswire:

Celebration swept through the Commonwealth today as the Ruling Council announced it's seperation with the ever more risky Arab League in favor of negotiations with the European Economic Community. Citing conflicting interests and instability in the region, the Council announced their decision this morning.

"We believe that the EEC will be a better fit for the common good of Italy and it's colonies. Some have expressed concern over the safety of the colonies in the wake of this announcement, and to them, I assure the mainland's continuing support and loyalty to it's colonies."

After the early speech, the Council corresponded with Germany, with wishes to seek entry into the European Economic Community.

Communique from the Council to Scandic Union:

Your offer of a defensive agreement pleases us; it is always good to have as
many friends as is possible in this violent and brutal world. Ambassador Colombo
Stefano will visit the Scandic Union as soon as possible to seal the agreement.

Ambassador Stefano will be warmly recieved in Stockholm. We await his arrival.

Newswire:

The Commonwealth further cemented it's place in Europe today as a defensive pact was signed and approved with the Scandic Union.
