00:00Well, we've had a long and productive discussion on a number of fronts, including Ukraine,

00:04as you'd expect, the Middle East and the Indo-Pacific, talking strategically about tactical decisions.

00:11This isn't about a particular decision, and we'll obviously pick up again in UNGA in just

00:16a few days' time with a wider group of individuals.

00:20But this was a really important invitation from the president to have this level of discussion

00:25about those critical issues.

00:27Ukraine has a right to self-defence, and we've stood united, not just with our allies here

00:32in the US, but across with our NATO allies.

00:35That's very, very important to us.

00:37But today was about having the chance to talk not just about a particular step or tactic,

00:43but the strategy in relation to Ukraine.

00:45But also we covered the Middle East in some extensive detail, and other areas across the

00:50world.

00:51So it was a really important occasion for us to have this chance to discuss with our

00:54allies.

00:55We'll have another chance week after next in UNGA, and we'll take that as well.
