Count Sergei Yulyevich Witte, Russian Prime Minister at the time, brought his strategic vision to the table while John Morley, 1st Viscount Morley of Blackburn, contributed his profound wisdom as a British Liberal statesman. Sir Ernest Mason Satow added his expertise as a British scholar and diplomat specializing in Japanology. The assembly also included Hugh Oakeley Arnold-Forster and William St John Fremantle Brodrick – both prominent figures in British politics. Count Mensdorff represented Austro-Hungarian diplomacy alongside Theophile Delcasse's French statesmanship. John Redmond stood tall as an Irish nationalist politician during this significant year. And who could forget Winston Churchill? This future British prime minister already showcased his remarkable potential back then. Joseph Chamberlain's presence further enriched this gathering with his political acumen as a British Liberal politician.
