00:21of America, but frankly for the world.
00:23We are facing a series of interconnected economic and geopolitical crises, many of which pose severe threats.
00:30Severe threats to essential foundations of the global economic order.
00:35New disruptions and strains to global energy and food supplies and food markets, to the global supply chain, to trade,
00:42to freedom of navigation itself.
00:44And the G20 must work together to confront these threats, to strengthen our economic resilience, to safeguard our markets and
00:51the economies that they sustain.
00:53The challenges we have addressed during the presidency of President Trump are multifaceted and interconnected, and the solutions must be
01:05two.
01:06Here we can help set the context for expanded geopolitical stability and the broader economic prosperity agenda that our leaders
01:12will tackle.
01:13As diplomats, as political leaders, we have a vital role to play.
01:19We are tasked, on behalf of the nations that we serve, to work together with one another to coordinate responses
01:26to emerging crisis and to protect our shared interests.
01:29By translating our shared interests into practical cooperation and real action, we can reinforce global stability, and more importantly, we
01:37can deliver meaningful results for our citizens.
