Fourth Conference of the Great Powers' Club

The Fourth Conference of the Great Powers' Club took place in 66 AEE. It was attended by Ramesses X of Egypt, Suppiluliuma IV of Hatti, Ashur-resh-ishi of Assyria, and Marduk-apla-iddina II of Karduniash. The kings convened in Byblos, the largest Phoenician city, located in the Kingdom of Egypt. 
Such agreements were signed:
* The Tigris and Euphrates were opened up more so that goods from Karduniash could officially travel to Assyrian and from there to Hatti.
* Hatti, Assyria, and Karduniash agreed to introduce their own currencies, just like Egypt had done with the shematy, by 81 AEE, so that international trade would be done more smoothly.
*Elam was to be invited as an observer member in the next conference.
Several proposals failed:
* Official recognition of Alashiya as a puppet kingdom of Hatti (proposed by Hatti, supported by Karduniash, opposed by Egypt and Assyria).
* Recognition of Egyptian activities in Egyptian Kush as a genocide (proposed by Hatti, supported by Karduniash, opposed by Egypt and Assyria).
The next conference was decided to be held in the city of Ugarit, belonging to a Hittite puppet state, in 71 AEE.
