00:00So

00:30Well, let me begin, Prime Minister, by warmly welcoming you to the United Kingdom, to Downing

00:53Street. Petter, my friend, it's very good to have you here, and I think it's the first time in eight

01:00years that we've had the Prime Minister in, so a really important occasion. We're now doing more

01:07on trade, on the economy, on energy, on defence and security than ever before, and today we'll mark

01:16the occasion where we sign our Memorandum of Understanding, which I think signals how strong

01:23the relationship is and what our ambition is as we go forward, particularly when it comes

01:29to small modular reactors and the joint initiative that we have with Rolls-Royce and others. So

01:35you're very welcome. Thank you for taking time out of what I know is already a campaign to

01:41be here in Downing Street to have these discussions. I'm really forward to it. It's a privilege

01:46to welcome you, and we've got a lot to discuss, so thank you very much.

01:50Thank you very much for your kind invitation to the United Kingdom. I am pleased to be here.

01:58This is the third time I have a privilege to be your guest in the UK. Your country continues

02:07its nature and role as a security, key security pillar of Europe. Thank you for that. And I

02:17must say we have excellent level of cooperation between the Czech Republic and the UK. Thank you

02:28again for having me here and I look forward to our discussion. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you very much.
