00:00We are very glad to be invited. We are very grateful for your support during this dark
00:13and challenging time.
00:17This is from Norway, my number is not here, and Julian from Romania. He speaks phenomenal
00:25English.
00:27I'm here just to say a massive thank you to you for everything that you do, because
00:31at this headquarters, all the planning, the strategic thinking goes on for pretty well
00:39every operation that we run anywhere in the world. That is an incredible thing to be responsible
00:46for, an incredible thing for our country, and of course whatever form that operation
00:52takes, whether it's air, sea, land, cyber space, you are doing all the planning for
00:59that. And that means that you're integral to what we do as a country to keep our country
01:07safe and secure. Last weekend and two weekends before that we had groupings of international
01:14political leaders coming together to provide the political alignment and the collective
01:21agreement that we need to work together to ensure that any deal that is put in place
01:27is defended. What's happening here is turning that political intention into reality, the
01:35concept into plans.
