00:06 Are active in terms of expressing solidarity with you and your country

00:18 Your voice is very important. This region is very important
00:23 We're thankful to Philippines when you supported us in United Nations with the six
00:29 Votings with the six resolutions in a signal that you don't want any war that you are very peaceful
00:36 Country and that's why we have to to hold the situation
00:40 We have to be together with very strong and clean position that nobody can occupy to your territory
00:46 Nobody right now. We are doing it in a very diplomatic way. You what are your thoughts about this?

01:33 Hospitals they just attacked us because they needed only to
01:38 Have shock. Yeah, we click at the X cause of it. Yes, they wanted to provoke shock
01:46 people
01:48 Push people run away from the country to occupy it quicker. That was their idea
01:54 And in this chaos, we could manage and could unite everybody
01:59 But we have this experience when we didn't have such systems
02:03 It's a pity at the very beginning of war and then we had it and then our partners
02:09 Understood that we stay strong and we will stay anyway
02:13 With any kind of weapon or without we will stay strong and after that the partners began to believe the world
