00:00Good morning, it is a real pleasure to welcome Pete Hexhead again today to NATO.

00:09We had a wonderful dinner last night.

00:11We discussed a lot of things, obviously defence spending, clearly we have to do more, we have

00:17to ramp up defence spending because we know we cannot protect ourselves four or five years

00:23from now if we don't.

00:24And also we need to ramp up defence spending because it is clear that the US rightly requires

00:30us to do more here on the European side and the Canadian side of NATO.

00:35It's only fair, it's only sensible.

00:37We also will discuss defence industrial production because we simply do not produce enough.

00:43This is including the US and up to and including Turkey and everything in between.

00:47We need to really get more output from our huge defence industrial base to keep up with

00:54Russia, the Chinese and others.

00:56And then during the lunch we will of course discuss Ukraine, what happened yesterday of

01:01course here in the meeting and also coming out of the White House will lead to debate.

01:05But there is a clear convergence emerging and I'm very happy about this.

01:08And the convergence is, one, we need peace in Ukraine.

01:11Two, we have to make sure that Ukraine is in a position of strength.

01:16And three, as you Pete said yesterday, we can never ever, ever again have a Minsk three

01:21situation where a peace is not durable.

01:24So collectively we will work on that, we will discuss this amongst the Allies, I look forward

01:28to that.

01:29Pete, again, welcome to NATO, welcome on board.
