00:00Thank you for hosting us today and greetings to our friends from India and work together.

00:24Australia, India, Japan and the United States, we are a more effective partner for the region.

00:34Well, in our countries and throughout this region. Thank you.

00:39Even more than keeping the focus, we have to demonstrate that together we can deliver practical real results.

00:44And that's really what the Quad stands for.

00:46It's an affirmative vision of this free, open, prosperous Indo-Pacific.

00:52A vision that is informed by listening, first and foremost, listening to regional priorities,

00:59listening to what all of our partners are looking for and need in their lives to make those lives better.

01:06We have listened and we've heard what our region wants.

01:09A region that is peaceful, that is predictable, that is governed by accepted rules and norms,

01:14where all of us can cooperate and trade and thrive.

01:18A region where sovereignty is respected and competition is managed responsibly,

01:23where size and power do not determine a country's fate,

01:27where no country dominates and no country is dominated,

01:30where we can all pursue our own aspirations and have choices available to realise those.

01:36Our meeting should send a clear message that the Quad is here to stay, here to do and here to grow.

01:44Thank you.
