00:00I don't think I deserve to try and worship. Thank you very much. I'm really honored tonight to be here,
00:09invited by the U.S. ASEAN Chamber of Commerce, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in the U.S. Institute,
00:26the United States Indonesia Siding.
00:32Oh, fish, by the way, my father was the Indonesian co-president, I think, in the first years of U
00:41.S. Institute.
00:41And so I'm pleased to be here in the U.S. I've been invited by the president of the United
00:56States to be in the first official meeting of the board of peace,
01:05which was established to try to follow through on the ceasefire agreements in Gaza and to work towards a pathway
01:29in which we can find a lasting solution to the problems.
01:34The conflicts in Gaza and Palestine. So this will be a very important meeting that I attend.
01:49And also, I'm here also to conclude the major trade agreements between our two countries.
02:05We have been negotiating very intensely for the past several months, and I think we have achieved a solid agreement
02:21on many issues.
02:24So I look forward to see this trade agreements as a major boost for continuing the U.S. International Economic
02:42Partnership, Economic Cooperation.
02:47As you know, we signed several important agreements between the U.S. partners, some between the U.S. government institutions,
03:04and some between the U.S. companies, and some between the U.S. companies, and amongst them are implementing agreements
03:17as a follow-up to the major points agreed upon between the U.S.
03:25and the U.S. and the U.S. and the U.S. and the U.S. concerning trade balances between
03:32the two countries.
03:32So I am very optimistic about the future of our relationship.
03:42As you know, Indonesia will always remember the role that the United States has played in our history.
03:53The U.S. was instrumental in supporting our struggle for independence in the 1940s, 45 to 49, we were fighting
04:13the war of independence, trying to free ourselves from Dutch colonialism,
04:19and the U.S. and the U.S. was instrumental in supporting us.
04:25And throughout our early history, we only saw the United States helping us in our critical times.
04:39And I think this shows actually how, at least the current leaders of Indonesia, we always try to teach the
04:53younger generation to never forget our friends who were friends in our times of need.
05:02So there are also friends who will be friends when everything is going well.
