00:00I know you've been here before but you haven't been here since I've been Prime Minister so it's a real privilege and pleasure to have you here today. Thank you so much for coming to the conference this morning and there's just the clearest evidence of the strong relationship between our two countries on so many levels.
00:23What we're doing on defence and security, whether that's AUKUS, the work on the coalition of Willing, the work we're doing in relation to Ukraine, Middle East, whether we're aligned in our approach, I think this is really strong evidence of the way in which we're working together.
00:39The people to people contact that we've got, the trade contact we've got. We've got a conference coming up I think with CEOs coming up which is really important and lots to discuss in defence, security, trade in the economy, the conflicts that we need to deal with throughout the world where we're in constant contact as you know which is first class contact.
01:02And of course issues like critical general rules. So a lot to discuss. We touched on some of it this morning at the conference we've just come from but it is a real privilege to have you here. You're very, very welcome.
