00:00Okay, final question to the young reporters in the front.

00:04Yes.

00:05We'll get a mic to you. Just a moment.

00:12Thank you very much for this opportunity, Secretary General.

00:15We are the youth correspondents.

00:17Absolutely. And you are here now for two days, and you have been marvelous.

00:22Yes, thank you.

00:24There's a lot happening in this world, and many children worry about it.

00:28Do you think we children can also fight for peace?

00:32Or should we trust that you could bring peace to the world? Thank you.

00:38I cannot personally bring peace to the world.

00:40What we can do collectively is to make sure that we are so well prepared,

00:47we are so strong that nobody will ever attack us.

00:50So the best way to preserve your future, and that our children can live in a democratic, free, open society,

00:59where you can be who you want to be, think what you want, have free press,

01:04what we basically have in the West, and let's be honest, it's fantastic,

01:08is to make sure that we spend enough on our defense, particularly if we know that we have some adversaries

01:15who are really trying to get at us.

01:17So that's the best way to preserve your future.

01:19And that's what we try to do today, to make that commitment.

01:22But you standing here is really touching, and we have seen each other now for two days.

01:26We know each other for a longer time.

01:28I really want to thank you both, and in you, all the free press sitting in this room,

01:34for your fantastic work, and see you soon, in Brussels or elsewhere.

01:38Bye-bye. Take care. Thanks.

01:39Thank you all very much. That's all we have time for today.
