00:00I can't tell you how much my wife and myself are happy to be with you this evening at the
00:09British Museum after having admired the Bayer's tapestry presented here in the UK for the first time during its long
00:22and remarkable history.
00:27Monsieur le Président, let me first extend my deepest appreciation to you and to the French people for the trust
00:37you have placed in the United Kingdom by agreeing to this unprecedented loan.
00:45I well remember our discussing this possibility during our state visit to France in 2023.
00:55It is a particular joy, therefore, to see the hope become reality.
01:01Amen.
