00:00Are you getting the Parthenon sculptures back, Mr. Takis? Are you losing your marbles, Mr.
00:09Starmer?
00:10Well, it's absolutely fantastic to welcome you here to Downing Street, to build on our
00:35strong bilateral relationship, and to talk about our common issues. We're very much looking
00:41forward to working with you in the UN in your new position. That's from a few weeks' time.
00:46We're closely aligned, and so there's a huge amount, I think, that we can build on already
00:51there, but for the future. So you're very, very welcome here.
00:54Well, thank you. Thank you, Prime Minister. It's a pleasure to be back, and we have lots
00:57of issues to discuss. These are very turbulent times, and we'd really like to build on the
01:02strong partnership our two countries have formed over many years. And we do see the
01:10United Kingdom as integral in addressing the big security challenges that we're facing,
01:16not just in Ukraine, but also in Southeastern Europe and the Middle East. So we'll have
01:21lots to talk about. Very good. I look forward to it.
