00:00It is very important that we build a coalition of countries around the principle that the ceasefire should be permanent,
00:10there should be a deal, and that the Straits of Hormuz are open.
00:14It is in all of our interest to do that, because what's happening in the war in Iran is affecting
00:19each of our economies.
00:20That's why countries are coming together.
00:21Everybody is clear that in order for that to happen, we need a diplomatic and political limb, we need a
00:28logistics and economic limb, and we need some military planning.
00:32And that is what we're coming together to do today, and it's the right thing to do, because the longer
00:37this conflict goes on, the more the impact, and I'm mindful that people across the United Kingdom, that's impact on
00:44them and the cost of living.
00:45And I will do everything I can with other countries to alleviate that and to get the Straits open as
00:51soon as possible.
