00:00It's good to be back in London, it's good to be back in Downing Street.
00:03I just was considering, I think I've been here for the first time 25 years ago.
00:09The long road.
00:11And in the meanwhile, a lot of things have happened.
00:15We remember the difficult days after the Brexit.
00:19And in the meanwhile, I think we have quite capabilities to manage it a little bit better.
00:29But as you were saying, in the middle of this year, in July, you opened a new chapter after negotiations with the German government with the so-called Hansington Treaty, which is covering a broad spectrum of policies coming from defence policy for reasons which need not to be explained.
00:56We have a new security situation in Europe, if not in the whole world.
01:02So therefore, there is a need of closer cooperation.
