00:00:00.259 --> 00:00:09.000
You our understanding of the world order almost identical and

00:00:09.009 --> 00:00:11.898
the need to act together never more pressing than it

00:00:11.909 --> 00:00:15.679
is today. We are living, as I said

00:00:15.689 --> 00:00:18.978
in a speech at Lancaster House in London with your

00:00:19.019 --> 00:00:23.649
Chief of defense staff present back in January in a

00:00:23.658 --> 00:00:26.829
world has moved from a post war world that we've

00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:29.699
always considered. We've lived in to a pre war

00:00:29.708 --> 00:00:33.279
world where not because we're about to go to war

00:00:33.289 --> 00:00:35.020
tomorrow, I hope. But because we need to

00:00:35.094 --> 00:00:38.575
more prepared than ever before, our stance needs to

00:00:38.584 --> 00:00:44.134
change what we are experiencing right now is a strategic

00:00:44.145 --> 00:00:48.404
dimension to the contemporary relationship which in many respects is

00:00:48.414 --> 00:00:52.764
unprecedented but certainly has not been in place for decades

00:00:53.014 --> 00:00:55.194
. Um And it means that the agreement that we

00:00:55.204 --> 00:00:59.353
have signed today um is very practical, but it

00:00:59.365 --> 00:01:03.668
is also very timely and it does reflect a relationship

00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:07.629
which has become much more strategic, a relationship which

00:01:07.638 --> 00:01:11.290
has a much bigger national security dimension.
