00:00I feel the relationship between our countries is an excellent place.
00:05The evidence of that, amongst others, was the cricket deal we did earlier this year,
00:10but also the defence agreement that we're reaching today, which takes it to even another level.
00:18So I'm really pleased about the strength of the relationship, the opportunity I'm going to have today
00:23to discuss with you all the important issues.
00:26Thank you, as ever, for your absolutely steadfast support of Ukraine, leading from the front,
00:34being an absolutely vital member of the coalition ruling,
00:38and vital to the thinking that we are all putting into how we go forward in relation to that dreadful conflict,
00:46and on wider issues, whether it's the Middle East, Sudan, and other global issues.
00:50So you're very, very welcome, and I'm really looking forward to having time to discuss those issues again,
