00:00We have held these discussions under a cloud of growing global insecurity, so in our trilateral
00:07and our bilateral meetings we've reinforced the need to stand together against Russian aggression
00:16towards peace in the Middle East and steadfast behind Ukraine for as long as it takes.
00:22Today's meeting has occurred just after the third anniversary of the announcement of August.
00:30What three years ago was an idea, today we can, looking back, rightfully say
00:38that that idea has blossomed into operational plans and plans which are being executed.
00:45Richard and John, thanks for your leadership and thanks for your commitment
00:50to security in the Indo-Pacific. As you both said, we got a lot done today
00:56and I look forward to doing even more in the days ahead.
