00:00 I think what this meeting demonstrates is that we are coming to a moment in our respective
00:06 journeys where there is now a strategic and security dimension to our relationship, which
00:11 is really making it very intemperate.
00:13 I think we both felt that last year when we did Auckland in Portsmouth.
00:18 There is a contemporary relevance to this relationship which is really, really important
00:23 in what is an increasingly challenging world.
00:27 So we really look forward to the conversations that we are going to have here today.
00:31 I've said this a few times, I think an old friend who we've met again at a bar discovered
00:36 that there is a lot that we can do together.
00:38 So we look forward to that.
