00:00Then, of course, we will discuss Middle East and everything, you know, what is happening in the Middle East is
00:06also affecting Ukraine, it's affecting other partners, and there the main, main topic will be how to keep the Strait
00:16of Hormuz open.
00:17During the weekend, I also had talks with UN Security, I mean, UN Secretary General, I had talks with Antonio
00:29Guterres about whether it was possible to also have the same kind of initiative like we had the Black Sea
00:36initiative, how to get the grain from Ukraine out,
00:41because the closure of Strait of Hormuz is really dangerous for the oil supplies, energy supplies to Asia, 85%
00:51of the oil and gas through Strait of Hormuz goes to Asian countries, but it's also problematic for the fertilizers,
01:01and if there is a lack of fertilizers this year, there's going to be also food deprivation next year.
01:10So, we discussed with Antonio Guterres how to make this happen.
01:17Then, on our side, we have missions and operations in the region, we have ASPIRES, of course, we will discuss
01:25with the member states whether it's possible to really change the mandate of this mission.
01:32The point is that whether the member states are willing to actually use this mission, if we want to have
01:43security in this region, then it would be easiest to actually already use the operation that we have in the
01:50region and maybe change a bit.
01:52There is also talk of coalition of the willing in this regard, but we also need to see what could
01:59be the fastest to provide this opening for the Strait of Hormuz.
02:06But, of course, as you can see, it's not easy.
02:10You're a bit more situation on the spot on Artemis.
02:10You guys are ready to see what we
02:10Grazie a tutti.
