00:00The dangers we are facing are great, from the Arctic to the Mediterranean, from outer
00:05space to the seabed, from missiles and drones to sophisticated cyberattacks.
00:12Russia's war against Ukraine rages on, China's military modernization and nuclear expansion
00:19they continue, and Iran is spreading terror and chaos, and you feel this prominently here
00:25in Turkey.
00:26In recent weeks, NATO has successfully intercepted ballistic missiles heading to Turkey, from
00:34Iran, on four separate occasions.
00:36NATO is prepared for such threats and will always do what is necessary to defend Turkey
00:42and all allies.
00:44We have to do better, we have to do more, and we can learn a lot from what Turkey is
00:48doing
00:49here.
00:50And this is needed because we live in a more dangerous world.
00:53I don't have to tell you this, but maybe through all the journalists here, let me also say
00:58this to the audiences at home.
00:59We live, and of course they also know, in a more dangerous world.
01:03And that means we need strong defenses to protect our security.
