00:00I think success has many parents, but this is all about Zoran, his family and his team.

00:06Well, I want to congratulate Zoran for a fantastic win in New York.

00:10Congratulate Zoran's family, congratulate his team, and congratulate the city of New York.

00:18They've chosen, in a bitterly contested election, hope over fair, unity over division.

00:25And I'm already experiencing the ripples of hope and happiness coming from his victory.

00:37And I suspect the reason why Zoran won with such a big majority was people could relate to what he was saying.

00:44Him being a Muslim is almost beside the point.

00:47His opponents may have used his faith against him, but it was quite clear.

00:52That was a positive, upbeat campaign led to New Yorkers choosing him as their mayor.

00:57Do you think Zoran should do the same thing? Do you have any advice there?

01:01London, like New York, is a city that is liberal, multicultural, progressive, and also incredibly successful.

01:09We are the antithesis of everything that Donald Trump is about.

01:14And you can see why President Donald Trump hates London, hates New York,

01:20and hates the fact that Londoners, like New Yorkers, have chosen hope over Donald Trump's vision of fear.

01:27In itself, especially in the U.S., what can the left-wing parties learn from his victory?

01:33Well, there are many parallels that New York and London have, and there are many parallels that Zoran and I have.

01:39One of them is, when I was elected, like Zoran, we both had national leaders who went from our parties

01:45and, frankly speaking, hated us.

01:49In the face of that adversity, you can really bring a city together.

01:52As the mayor of your city, you've got to be the champion and advocate.

02:00When you can, when it's in your city's interest, you work with the national leader,

02:04even if he's from a different party.

02:06But don't be scared to sometimes stand up to a national leader,

02:10particularly if that national leader is a bully.

02:12That day I wanted to present this to you.

02:14How were you? Oh, bless you. Thank you very much.

02:15It was a lunch, and I think it was...

02:17Okay, fine.

02:18London is the greatest city. He can record me.

02:20And Singapore is the greatest city state.
