00:00So Lord Mandelstam is a very well respected international figure. He was
00:05previously an EU trade commissioner and obviously a very senior politician. We
00:12need someone as our next ambassador to the US who is going to be able to
00:16promote our economic and security interests with the new administration.
00:22And so I think given his ample experience and his skills he's perfectly
00:28placed to do that for us.
