00:00we're turning a page we're opening a new chapter in our unique relationship this is the story of

00:11historical and natural partners standing side by side on the global stage facing most of the same

00:19challenges pursuing the same objectives like-minded sharing the same values and thus we are looking

00:26for solutions that are beneficial for both our people and standing shoulder by shoulder when it

00:32comes to really getting to the solutions I want to have a look at common understanding which is

00:40basically the roadmap that we have agreed on to follow now after this summit first we have concluded

00:48our security and defense partnership this will boost our cooperation in security and defense

00:55initiatives there are lots of topics covered for example on the defense industry but also military

01:03mobility peace building crisis management or the countering of hybrid threats just to name a few

01:10and this is the first step towards UK participation in Europe's defense investment program we call it

01:19safe it's 150 billion euros of loans for joint procurement and this security and defense

01:28partnership opens the door towards the joint procurement we need another second step but

01:34this joint procurement we've discussed will will increase our readiness will close military gaps that

01:44we have and will increase that's of most importance our interoperability when our armed forces are going on

01:53missions together it will create new opportunities of course for our defense industries and as I said open the

02:01option for stronger more coordinated support also for Ukraine that's important either through joint procurement of

02:10military capabilities that then are brought to Ukraine or for direct investment in Ukraine's defense industry

02:18this is against the backdrop that we stand united behind Ukraine's fight for survival and that we are strongly committed

02:26to a full and unconditional ceasefire leading to a just and lasting peace in Ukraine

02:33this is against the ground
