We want and we need to work together more closely. We want to put our relationship on
00:30
a new foundation and that's why we signed the joint declaration today.
00:36
We want to strengthen our armaments industry. Secondly, we want to work together more closely

The new British government has vowed to reset relations with Europe post-Brexit.
00:51
So with Keir Starmer now as Prime Minister and a new election mandate, this is a new
00:55

01:00
but in the way that we act together, we work together and that we make Britain democracy's
