00:30Well, can I just say it's a fantastic opportunity, Georgia, for us to have a bilateral to discuss the very many pressing issues of the day, but it's always a pleasure and privilege to talk these things through with like-minded people like yourselves, a good relationship between our countries, the personal relationship we have.
00:50We have much to discuss at this G7, the Middle East, Ukraine, NATO, you name it, but I'm really pleased to be able to have the first bilateral of the G7 with you here this evening, so thank you so much.
01:03Thank you, Pierre. It's my second bilateral of the G7. Eric was here and I just met him, and I think it is a very good occasion to stay two days together in these difficult times and try to discuss about all the topics that we have.
01:19As you were saying, the recent events in the Middle East and the path towards just and lasting peace in Ukraine, and then the efforts that we will have to do in Europe to reinforce our defense, our security, that will lead us to the NATO summit,
01:38and then many bilateral topics, many very important things that Italy and the UK are doing together also, for example, on defense with the GCAP and other very strategic initiatives, and then I'm very happy about our cooperation on migration.
01:52Yes, on migration we've got a lot to discuss.
01:54Yes, a lot to discuss, and we've been working very hard in the States to have a dedicated joint declaration to tackle the traffickers,
02:08and it was very important for Italy, for you know we've been the first bringing the topic at the G7 level, so I'm very happy that this work continues and thanks to UK for being very clear on this topic.
02:21So many, many things to be discussed and it's a privilege for me to have this occasion.
