00:00Well, good afternoon, everybody. Welcome to the Pentagon.

00:04A continued commitment to a pragmatic,

00:08practical application of hard power between our countries

00:12that reflect peace through strength and also

00:16hard power, real capabilities that demonstrate a deterrent

00:20effect that we all want. We may lead our departments of war, ministers of defense,

00:24but our goal is peace on behalf of the American people,

00:28the Australian people and the UK, and we pursue that together on behalf of our

00:32leadership. So it's a privilege to have you at the Pentagon. Look forward to talking more in depth about AUKUS

00:36and our partnerships, and I would be remiss also, John, if I didn't

00:40mention the passing of your paratrooper in

00:44Ukraine, and we're certainly, our thoughts and prayers go out

00:48to you and to him and his family, and it's a reflection of the sacrifice

00:52and commitment that so many make around the world. Thank you.

00:56Thank you both for your remarks about

01:00Lance Corporal George Hooley. I will

01:02pass those on to his family.

01:04I know they will

01:06appreciate that, your

01:08sentiments, and it's a reminder for us all

01:10the risks

01:12that our servicemen and women put themselves

01:14at in order to keep the rest

01:16of us safe.

01:18For the UK, AUKUS is quite simply

01:20the most important military

01:22collaboration for the

01:24last 70 years,

01:26since the US and the UK first

01:28agreed in this great city

01:30in 1958 to share nuclear

01:32technology, and just as

01:34it was back then, this

01:36partnership will be a foundation

01:38for the shared security

01:40for generations to come.

01:42It's time to deliver.

01:44And when we talk about

01:46delivery, we talk about

01:48the most powerful,

01:50most feared attack submarine

01:52the world has ever seen.

01:54The apex predator

01:56of the seas.

01:58And we talk about delivering

02:00the technologies of the future,

02:02putting our warfighters one step

02:04ahead of our adversaries,

02:06reinforcing our deterrence

02:10in the face of adversaries,

02:12and we talk about putting our

02:14industries at the leading

02:16edge of new export

02:18markets.

02:20We need more subs

02:22in the Indo-Pacific and in the

02:24Euro-Atlantic. We need more burden

02:26of sharing by America's

02:28closest allies

02:30in Australia and the UK.

02:32And as the UK

02:34steps up on European

02:36security, we know that each

02:38of the three nations have a role

02:40to play to protect our people,

02:42to keep our citizens safe,

02:44and to reinforce that

02:46global deterrence.

02:48The last 12 months has seen

02:50a lot of progress in

02:52relation to AUKUS.

02:54The last six weeks we've had

02:56the USS Vermont in HMAS

02:58Stirling, south of Perth

03:00in Australia, undertaking

03:02the most extensive maintenance

03:03of an American

03:04nuclear-powered submarine

03:05outside of America ever.

03:07And it is an example

03:08of what we are doing together.

03:10But this is a massive project,

03:12and there is so much more

03:14to do, and it's really important

03:16that we are looking at the ways

03:18in which we can now get on

03:20with this and deliver it.

03:22And I think delivery is very much

03:24the focus of the conversation

03:26that we will be having today.

03:28I'm very excited

03:30about what we can do together,

03:34the progress that we're making,

03:36but the challenges that we both need

03:38or all of us need to grab hold of

03:40as we move forward.

03:41And again, thank you,

03:42the both of you, for having

03:44this meeting today.

03:48Thank you, Richard.
