00:00For more than 80 years this organization has stood for one answer. Power must be bound by rules agreed together.
00:08That answer secured Austria's sovereignty and our prosperity. It still does.
00:16We are a nation of 9 million people, an open liberal democracy and we are proud of it. Alone we
00:23cannot keep trade routes open, stabilize energy markets or prevent wars.
00:29Like most countries in this whole, we depend on a world in which borders are respected, agreements are kept and
00:37strength is bound by law.
00:39When that order weakens, the gravest price is paid by those least able to bear it.
00:46By countries already in crisis, by populations heavily dependent on food imports and by people caught in conflict.
00:56In Austria we are fortunate to live in peace, but the consequences reach us.
01:01Energy prices rise, factories close and families are forced to flee war and seek safety across Europe.
