00:00In challenging times, and they are challenging times, we need the highest quality collaboration with our closest partners, and indeed
00:09Germany is one of our closest partners, and we're glad to be here to ratify the Kensington Treaty today, which,
00:20if we work at it, Friedrich, will improve our security here in Europe, but also help grow our economies.
00:30Improve the living standards of our citizens. That is our aim, and that's what we hope will follow the ratification
00:38of the treaty today.
00:40We are announcing today collaboration on a number of levels, particularly in relation to defence and security, a new partnership
00:51countering hybrid attacks.
00:54This is something that the UK and Germany are facing on a regular basis, and it makes sense to face
01:03these threats together and to support each other in countering them, as well as countering interference in our democratic processes
01:13as well, and being stronger together when we face these threats.
