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.
