00:00Prime Minister, thank you so much, and I'm really grateful to you for taking the time.
00:28I know how much President Biden was foreseeing on Friday.
00:31I'm glad for this opportunity to talk before you head to Washington.
00:34And I can simply say what I said earlier today, which is that for the United States,
00:39you remain not only the most special of relationships, but really the most essential of relationships.
00:45We are together dealing with a greater complexity, a greater multiplicity,
00:50a greater interconnectedness of problems than ever before.
00:53But the fact that we're doing it side by side makes all the difference
00:58and is a tremendous sense of confidence for us.
