00:00As the world's largest democracies and champions of multilateralism, the European Union and India share the responsibility to upholding the international law with the United Nations Charter at its core.
00:16So, earlier this morning, we and Ursula, and President Ursula, had the opportunity to pay tribute to Mahatma Gandhi, and I reflected upon his words, which still holds true today, and I quoted,
00:35Peace will not come out of a clash of arms, but out of justice lived and done by unarmed nations in the face of odds.
00:47Our summit reaffirmed our commitment to supporting efforts towards a comprehensive, just, and lasting peace in Ukraine, one that fully respects Ukraine's independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.
01:07This is a key moment. We are supporting all efforts to reach a just and sustainable peace. Ukraine has shown its readiness, including at the cost of difficult compromise.
01:23I know, dear Prime Minister, that we can count on you to help creating conditions for peace through dialogue and diplomacy.
01:35And this is my final message. Together, we must show leadership on global issues. Cooperation between the European Union and India will help shape a more balanced, resilient, and inclusive global order.
01:56Just two examples.
01:58Just two examples. I'm proud of the commitments we are making for greater cooperation on clean energy, green transition, and climate resilience.
02:09And our collaboration through the global gateway, and on the India-Middle East-Europe economic corridor, is decisive for global connectivity.
02:23By implementing the ambitious joint comprehensive strategic agenda towards 2030, we will align our priorities with concrete actions for the next five years.
02:37Delivering real benefits to our citizens, delivering real benefits to our citizens.
02:42Today, we have tangible progress and set an example of cooperative leadership on global issues.
02:51With our free trade agreements, our security and defense partnership, and our joint strategic agenda.
02:59These outcomes are crucial milestones on the longer path.
03:04We look forward to continuing the journey together, as always.
03:10Thank you very much.
