00:00The United States has long played a leadership role in the stability and security of the
00:05Indo-Pacific, and Australia will strive to strengthen the cooperation between our two
00:11nations and the region.
00:14Australia and the United States are old allies and true friends.
00:17Our nations are bound by a history of shared sacrifice, a commitment to common values and,
00:24above all, enduring respect and affection between our peoples.
00:29I look forward to talking with President Trump and working with him in the interests
00:33of both of our nations.
00:35President Trump has run a campaign based on change, and he's made it clear he's going
00:40to do things differently.
00:41So we shouldn't be surprised if things change, but equally we should be really confident
00:48in ourselves and our place in the world as well, and our ability to deliver on our interests
00:54together as Australians.
