00:04:14,640 factor into the summit outcomes from 72 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,360 earlier this week 73 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,199 thank you very much globesick for 74 00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:20,720

time in person 78 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,320 promise the nato summit was indeed the 79 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,240 decision-making summit it was not just 80 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,080 the summit of managing differences 81 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,520 or or getting us together so the 30 82 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,120 leaders made an important package of 83 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:37,840 decisions 84 00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:40,400 uh on nato 2030 initiative which is to 85 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:40,880 adopt 86 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,120 alliance for the future and when we 87 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,080 think back 88 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,440 the nato is indeed the adaptation 89 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:52,160 uh in in person uh when we remember 4849 90 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,919 when the alliance was established the 91 00:04:53,919 --> 00:04:55,360 external 92 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,520 enemy was actually germany that was 93 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:58,800 considered at the time 94 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,280 so look at where we are now and we are 95 00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:02,960 preparing for the future 96 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,320 indeed the the most important uh uh 97 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:07,759 sort of guiding principle framing 98 00:05:07,759 --> 00:05:10,080 principle is that see allies recognize 99 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,320 that we are in the era of systemic 100 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:13,759 competition 101 00:05:13,759 --> 00:05:17,520 and that requires a number of practical 102 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,680 practical steps so first to strengthen 103 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,680 international rules-based 104 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,479 order so work with partners like-minded 105 00:05:24,479 --> 00:05:26,639 countries organizations to make sure 106 00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:27,759 that what we agree 107 00:05:27,759 --> 00:05:30,560 at internationally is actually observed 108 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:31,520 so and 109 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,639 nato has its role to play it's a 110 00:05:34,639 --> 00:05:35,280 regional 111 00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:37,440 political military alliance but of 112 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,919 course we have global partners 113 00:05:39,919 --> 00:05:41,759 and we have values that we've been 114 00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:43,199 founded upon so 115 00:05:43,199 --> 00:05:44,960 its protection of our democracy is one 116 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,800 billion uh citizens 117 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,360 in the modern era so for that we need to 118 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:50,320 strengthen of course 119 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,120 defense and deterrence to have see the 120 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:54,560 adaptation also there 121 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,479 which means also not only the uh 122 00:05:58,479 --> 00:06:01,600 hard power and and the hard capabilities 123 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,759 uh that that our militaries need but 124 00:06:03,759 --> 00:06:06,400 also the resilience of all societies 125 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,960 including private sector including civil 126 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,199 societies including every citizen 127 00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:14,319 but also of course adoption of the 128 00:06:14,319 --> 00:06:16,479 emerging and disruptive technologies to 129 00:06:16,479 --> 00:06:18,160 ensure that our 130 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,160 strong military and strong political 131 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,880 unity has the necessary technological 132 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:23,440 edge 133 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,080 to be able to work among themselves to 134 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:26,560 be 135 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,840 interoperable but also to be able to 136 00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:30,560 resist 137 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,360 to all external threats whatever and 138 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:34,000 wherever they 139 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,680 come from and again for political unity 140 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,319 meaning the agility of understanding 141 00:06:40,319 --> 00:06:42,240 what is happening externally what we 142 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:43,680 need to do internally 143 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,919 the consultations among the allies and 144 00:06:45,919 --> 00:06:47,840 consultations with the closest partners 145 00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:48,479 on 146 00:06:48,479 --> 00:06:51,520 all issues of relevance and finally 147 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,560 again for the partners the enhanced 148 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,000 package for training 149 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,479 and not only training you know as as one 150 00:06:58,479 --> 00:06:59,520 way but 151 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,960 the exchange the understanding and and 152 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,800 the real capability building 153 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,160 for them to address those challenges and 154 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:08,880 threats that 155 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,280 they require thank you so much 156 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,199 ambassador before we uh turn it over to 157 00:07:13,199 --> 00:07:14,319 katrina mulligan 158 00:07:14,319 --> 00:07:15,680 i'd like to take a look at the word 159 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,280 cloud one more time before before we 160 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:18,880 move on 161 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,479 so this is really interesting i don't 162 00:07:20,479 --> 00:07:22,400 know that just a few years ago you would 163 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:23,039 have seen 164 00:07:23,039 --> 00:07:25,680 china as a top answer here when we're 165 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,199 asking what the primary challenge 166 00:07:27,199 --> 00:07:29,120 facing nato will be in the next 10 years 167 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,199 but it tees us up really nicely for our 168 00:07:31,199 --> 00:07:32,560 next question and katrina i'm going to 169 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,160 go ahead and turn it to you 170 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,560 so there are three words that we hear a 171 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:37,440 lot of the time 172 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,039 when we are talking about today's 173 00:07:39,039 --> 00:07:41,039 strategic landscape and those three 174 00:07:41,039 --> 00:07:41,520 words 175 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,759 are great power competition and that 176 00:07:43,759 --> 00:07:45,759 means nato doesn't have just one 177 00:07:45,759 --> 00:07:47,759 strategic competitor around which all of 178 00:07:47,759 --> 00:07:49,759 the allies can coalesce it means we now 179 00:07:49,759 --> 00:07:50,080 have 180 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,560 two near-peer competitors both of which 181 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,120 for whom nato must have a strategy 182 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:56,960 so katrina turning it over to you and 183 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,120 ambassador hoisin i i'd ask you to to 184 00:07:59,120 --> 00:07:59,680 jump on 185 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,639 jump in on this as well if you'd like 186 00:08:02,639 --> 00:08:04,080 can nato 187 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,400 handle both russia and china and and 188 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,240 does it have the ability to do both at 189 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:12,800 the same time and should it well 190 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,759 i certainly hope so i certainly expect 191 00:08:15,759 --> 00:08:16,639 them to 192 00:08:16,639 --> 00:08:19,680 um you know china and russia pose very 193 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:20,240 different 194 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,280 challenges um for nato and and allied 195 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:24,240 countries 196 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,720 the the chinese communist party is 197 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,639 actively attempting to shape 198 00:08:28,639 --> 00:08:30,960 the rules and norms of the international 199 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:31,840 system 200 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,760 and they're taking an increased 201 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,120 leadership role um 202 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:36,399 or they're trying to within the 203 00:08:36,399 --> 00:08:38,719 international order the russian 204 00:08:38,719 --> 00:08:39,679 government 205 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,039 is is more belligerent they are breaking 206 00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:46,560 rather than shaping global norms and so 207 00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:48,959 you really need to think about them both 208 00:08:48,959 --> 00:08:50,640 um as authoritarian 209 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,880 uh countries that need to be tackled 210 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:54,560 together but but also 211 00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:57,839 look at the individual um 212 00:08:57,839 --> 00:09:00,000 goals and norms that they're trying to 213 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,120 shape and break 214 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,000 um and and tailor policy responses 215 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,120 accordingly 216 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,760 um on china i really think that nato 217 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,680 should recognize china as a clear threat 218 00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:10,480 to the alliance 219 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,399 based on the word cloud it seems like uh 220 00:09:12,399 --> 00:09:13,519 we're already 221 00:09:13,519 --> 00:09:16,560 there or near there um 222 00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:18,240 but that threat is both in the short 223 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,640 term but but much more so in the longer 224 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:21,360 term 225 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,279 um that we need to build resilience 226 00:09:23,279 --> 00:09:24,800 short critical weaknesses 227 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,360 um among the allies particularly in 228 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:28,240 technology 229 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,440 uh and and other areas that the 230 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,080 chinese communist party can exploit on 231 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:34,800 russia 232 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,560 it's a bit of a different approach the 233 00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:39,600 costs need to be clear and imposed 234 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,519 uh for its belligerent behavior and 235 00:09:41,519 --> 00:09:44,000 gross violations of international law 236 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,000 um but one of the unique 237 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,680 attributes that we need to take into 238 00:09:49,680 --> 00:09:51,680 account as we're formulating policy in 239 00:09:51,680 --> 00:09:53,600 this area is that the china-russia 240 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:54,560 relationship 241 00:09:54,560 --> 00:09:56,240 has really grown in recent years 242 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,720 including in diplomacy and defense 243 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,680 in economics and russia's strategic 244 00:10:01,680 --> 00:10:02,160 reval 245 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,160 re-evaluation of its relationship with 246 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:05,440 china 247 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,279 resulted in part from the fallout with 248 00:10:07,279 --> 00:10:09,279 the west as a result of its annexation 249 00:10:09,279 --> 00:10:11,519 of crimea in 2014 250 00:10:11,519 --> 00:10:13,680 and so what we're starting to see is 251 00:10:13,680 --> 00:10:15,920 enhanced military cooperation 252 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,600 and shared political values that have 253 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,160 really driven the countries closer 254 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,120 beijing and moscow largely agree on the 255 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:23,600 role 256 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,680 of the sovereignty of the state of human 257 00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:26,800 rights and the principle of 258 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,079 non-interference 259 00:10:28,079 --> 00:10:30,320 um and those similarities are aiding in 260 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,959 their cooperation but there are 261 00:10:32,959 --> 00:10:35,519 deep economic structural barriers that 262 00:10:35,519 --> 00:10:37,760 stand in the way of further cooperation 263 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,680 and inner integration between these two 264 00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:41,040 powers um 265 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,880 and russia is going to remain the junior 266 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,399 partner in that relationship 267 00:10:44,399 --> 00:10:46,959 which is a position it doesn't relish 268 00:10:46,959 --> 00:10:49,040 and so there are some real opportunities 269 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,440 i think for nato and allied countries 270 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,640 to unite around a strategy that would 271 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,200 at the strategic level recognize and 272 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:58,160 counter 273 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,240 beijing and moscow's efforts to fragment 274 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:01,360 the alliance 275 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,600 um and show and view them as 276 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:04,959 coordinating their efforts 277 00:11:04,959 --> 00:11:07,839 um to challenge the global governance 278 00:11:07,839 --> 00:11:11,279 system and curb u.s and western power 279 00:11:11,279 --> 00:11:14,000 by considering them together but also as 280 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,279 individual challenges 281 00:11:15,279 --> 00:11:17,279 i think the focus really ought to be on 282 00:11:17,279 --> 00:11:18,560 china um 283 00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:20,640 china is much more interested in russia 284 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,560 in having a stable working relationship 285 00:11:22,560 --> 00:11:23,760 with the united states 286 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,399 albeit on china's terms and the us is 287 00:11:26,399 --> 00:11:28,880 going to need to work better um 288 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,760 to understand the local dynamics within 289 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,519 the borders of its allies and partners 290 00:11:33,519 --> 00:11:35,040 as they as they work through 291 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,680 um the china challenge um and then you 292 00:11:37,680 --> 00:11:38,320 know 293 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,000 with with russia it's going to be really 294 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,360 curbing their 295 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,959 aggressive behavior yep 296 00:11:44,959 --> 00:11:46,399 thank you katrina ambassador hoisin 297 00:11:46,399 --> 00:11:48,160 would you like to jump in on the china 298 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,160 and russia challenge when it comes to 299 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,480 nato 300 00:11:52,639 --> 00:11:56,320 yes happy happy to do so and then i 301 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,360 truly what katrina just said now 302 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,200 you you i don't know it was a mistake or 303 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,040 not you didn't invite the german nato 304 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,639 ambassador but you invited the german 305 00:12:04,639 --> 00:12:06,240 u.n ambassador so 306 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,440 i'm not the nato specialist but i 307 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,959 see how this relationship with 308 00:12:12,959 --> 00:12:16,079 china and russia plays out here here in 309 00:12:16,079 --> 00:12:16,639 new york 310 00:12:16,639 --> 00:12:20,079 and i can only subscribe to what 311 00:12:20,079 --> 00:12:23,440 katrina said before we see 312 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,839 a very close cooperation between russia 313 00:12:25,839 --> 00:12:27,040 and china 314 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,480 um and um within the security council 315 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,399 where he was a member of the last couple 316 00:12:32,399 --> 00:12:34,160 of years um 317 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:35,839 you couldn't you couldn't you know when 318 00:12:35,839 --> 00:12:38,160 it came to voting 319 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,760 they never parted from each other but 320 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,920 they have a different approach 321 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,800 russia is much more aggressive much more 322 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,720 belligerent that katrina said they 323 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,079 don't actually care about 324 00:12:52,079 --> 00:12:55,680 being in a minority um and getting you 325 00:12:55,680 --> 00:12:56,959 know 326 00:12:56,959 --> 00:13:00,000 voted against them in large margins 327 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,320 china is much more subtle china is 328 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,839 actually trying to 329 00:13:04,839 --> 00:13:07,120 reshape the 330 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,079 basis of the multilateral order and this 331 00:13:10,079 --> 00:13:10,480 is 332 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,800 what i see as a as something very 333 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,480 dangerous and 334 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,399 this is you know when you look at the 335 00:13:16,399 --> 00:13:18,320 basis of the un 336 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,959 this is a rules-based order this is a 337 00:13:20,959 --> 00:13:22,000 order where 338 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,320 um individual human rights play an 339 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,480 important control versus declaration of 340 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,639 human rights is a basis of the internet 341 00:13:28,639 --> 00:13:29,920 community and 342 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,639 china has a new narrative um not that 343 00:13:32,639 --> 00:13:33,120 new but 344 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,399 china has a narrative that um the 345 00:13:36,399 --> 00:13:38,399 the most important is the state the 346 00:13:38,399 --> 00:13:39,600 society 347 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,240 and the national sovereignty and what 348 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,240 countries do within 349 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,560 their borders is up to them there is 350 00:13:46,560 --> 00:13:48,560 nothing from the outside that 351 00:13:48,560 --> 00:13:51,040 you you um intervene so this that you 352 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,199 intervene so we have it of course the 353 00:13:53,199 --> 00:13:55,199 the case the most prominent is about the 354 00:13:55,199 --> 00:13:57,279 uyghurs where we say you know this is 355 00:13:57,279 --> 00:13:58,079 something 356 00:13:58,079 --> 00:14:01,120 we have to engage and we have to protect 357 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:02,079 the individuals 358 00:14:02,079 --> 00:14:04,560 you know one million people in detention 359 00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:06,320 camps china says no this is none of your 360 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:07,120 business 361 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,600 um you know we have brought 300 million 362 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:10,959 chinese into 363 00:14:10,959 --> 00:14:14,560 um into wealth and well-being and the 1 364 00:14:14,560 --> 00:14:16,160 million have to pay price for this and 365 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:17,839 this is unacceptable we have to fight 366 00:14:17,839 --> 00:14:19,279 for it we have to see 367 00:14:19,279 --> 00:14:21,600 that the values that we stand for that 368 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,680 we stood for there was a basis for nato 369 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:24,560 for the u.n 370 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,399 that this continues to to work and 371 00:14:28,399 --> 00:14:31,680 to come back um also do it 372 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,040 of course russia are much more 373 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,399 aggressive they invade ukraine they 374 00:14:36,399 --> 00:14:38,880 undercut the chemical weapons convention 375 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:39,519 in 376 00:14:39,519 --> 00:14:42,720 um in in syria they bomb hospitals china 377 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:43,199 is much 378 00:14:43,199 --> 00:14:46,320 more more subtle um but 379 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,199 as as dangerous as as i said um 380 00:14:49,199 --> 00:14:51,040 undercutting the values and this is 381 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:52,639 where we have to stand together 382 00:14:52,639 --> 00:14:55,920 um nato has to stand together but um 383 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,279 with the eu have to have a a global 384 00:14:59,279 --> 00:15:02,000 um a global community where we defend 385 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:02,320 our 386 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,600 our values and this is something that 387 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,440 has to be done at the u.n 388 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,360 but of course something where nato has 389 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:10,639 to be strong and 390 00:15:10,639 --> 00:15:12,959 one more point for nato of course the 391 00:15:12,959 --> 00:15:13,920 classical 392 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,560 defense we have to be ready um you know 393 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,000 for situations where 394 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,360 you have the the the aggressor um 395 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,240 trying to invade but um the much more 396 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,240 important i think is 397 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,800 at this stage the the hybrid warfare 398 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,639 what we saw here in the us right now 399 00:15:30,639 --> 00:15:32,480 with this big pipeline or what we have 400 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:33,120 seen 401 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,519 starting in the early or the mid 2000s 402 00:15:35,519 --> 00:15:36,160 with the 403 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,800 um with the cyber do you remember the 404 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,399 bronze soldier etc 405 00:15:40,399 --> 00:15:43,279 um and what we see now in in in on a 406 00:15:43,279 --> 00:15:44,240 very broad 407 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,680 range um attacks against parliaments um 408 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,440 oh the the also the the disinformation 409 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:52,959 campaign and all this this is 410 00:15:52,959 --> 00:15:55,440 much broader and this is what nato has 411 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,680 to has to cope with 412 00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,759 thank you and i failed to mention at the 413 00:15:59,759 --> 00:16:00,959 beginning that if you have 414 00:16:00,959 --> 00:16:03,040 questions you can type them onto the 415 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:04,000 slido app 416

said regional 425 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,440 organization it doesn't mean that nato 426 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,600 will conduct operations you know in 427 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,480 in the pacific uh even though china is 428 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:33,360 very clearly 429 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,120 uh reflected there is a new strong 430 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,040 language in in the communique 431 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,320 however again see today's threats are 432 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:41,759 completely different 433 00:16:41,759 --> 00:16:44,959 they affect nato's nations nato citizens 434 00:16:44,959 --> 00:16:45,920 our citizens 435 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:47,839 and of course it's our interest to be 436 00:16:47,839 --> 00:16:49,920 united this transatlantic celebration of 437 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,000 unities that we had on the 14th of june 438 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,079 with president biden and with allies 439 00:16:54,079 --> 00:16:57,040 completely united around these these 440 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:58,880 understanding of these new threats 441 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,800 in the same time of course also with 442 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,959 china china is rapidly expanding its 443 00:17:02,959 --> 00:17:04,400 nuclear arsenal 444 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,319 its values is not in accordance with 445 00:17:06,319 --> 00:17:08,160 washington treaty 446 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,640 it's its coercive behaviors ambassador 447 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,720 hoisgen said with its uh towards its own 448 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,400 population but also not only 449 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,160 not only towards its own also to other 450 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:17,520 countries 451 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,919 it all together as a package is is 452 00:17:19,919 --> 00:17:21,880 something that was not there even in 453 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,119 2019 454 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,359 and you you would have seen in in london 455 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,359 communique that language was 456 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,360 quite different having said that of 457 00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:31,280 course as with all countries also with 458 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,760 russia china nato is ready to talk 459 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,600 the dialogue is an important part of who 460 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:37,120 we are and 461 00:17:37,120 --> 00:17:39,360 uh in that respect also with china china 462 00:17:39,360 --> 00:17:40,880 has to be part of the solution on the 463 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:42,320 climate change 464 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,720 combat again we are serious about it and 465 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,080 also on quite a number of other 466 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,120 other issues so again we do 467 00:17:49,120 --> 00:17:50,880 recognize it's a it's a challenge the 468 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,480 situation has changed it's systemic 469 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,000 competition but in the same times the 470 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,679 dialogue has to be there and we are open 471 00:17:55,679 --> 00:17:57,039 for it 472 00:17:57,039 --> 00:17:58,880 thank you i'd like to follow up on on 473 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,480 something that ambassador hoist 474 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:01,840 hoisin mentioned and and you have 475 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,679 mentioned as well um 476 00:18:03,679 --> 00:18:06,960 uh resilience it's an important topic 477 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,520 at nato especially as the alliance deals 478 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:10,720 increasingly 479 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,400 with these sub-article five level 480 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:13,919 threats 481 00:18:13,919 --> 00:18:16,240 we've seen you know in september this 482 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,320 year uh the united states will mark one 483 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:19,760 of the greatest black swan events in our 484 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,600 history september 11th we're just 485 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:22,960 also coming out of the throes of a 486 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,280 global pandemic so how is nato thinking 487 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:25,840 about 488 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,080 black swan events and and do you think 489 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:29,200 there's anything that nato has 490 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:30,559 overlooked when thinking about them 491 00:18:30,559 --> 00:18:32,320 ambassador raja i'll come to you 492 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,000 uh and can treat katrina and ambassador 493 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,440 hoisin if you'd like to jump in as well 494 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,600 on that 495 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,760 yeah thanks very much for this for this 496 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,360 important question that's what nato is 497 00:18:41,360 --> 00:18:42,320 basically 498 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,120 about we are that's why we are investing 499 00:18:45,120 --> 00:18:45,360 in 500 00:18:45,360 --> 00:18:49,039 in uh adaptation and and forecasting the 501 00:18:49,039 --> 00:18:50,799 future and scenarios 502 00:18:50,799 --> 00:18:53,840 our exercises our whole planning is very 503 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:55,600 much around it 504 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,600 and i'm pleased to say that actually the 505 00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,280 investment has paid back 506 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,240 and and uh again there are issues i 507 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,320 can't talk about very openly here in an 508 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:05,280 open format 509 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,120 but certainly awareness agility and 510 00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:09,600 ability to respond 511 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,240 for nato is there on cyber obviously 512 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,000 it's more with the nations themselves 513 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,919 even though nato has clearly said that 514 00:19:15,919 --> 00:19:17,760 cyber's operational domain it's played 515 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,280 out in all exercises clearly 516 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:20,320 understanding that 517 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,160 there's not going to be just a military 518 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,559 type of operation only it will always 519 00:19:24,559 --> 00:19:26,559 come together with all the hybrids 520 00:19:26,559 --> 00:19:30,320 and and in that respect also with cyber 521 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,200 the nations have shown that they can 522 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:34,240 respond 523 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,160 uh with very concrete measures so the 524 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:37,760 discussion currently is actually on 525 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:38,960 response measures and 526 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,520 and uh how to proceed that and again 527 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:42,559 that's for the 528 00:19:42,559 --> 00:19:44,320 very much around the 30 allies where we 529 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,960 are now thank you ambassador hoiskin to 530 00:19:46,960 -->

00:20:04,000 we have to look at all the challenges um 534 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,320 that we face with the hybrid dwarf 535 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,080 prayer with disinformation campaigns et 536 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:09,679 cetera we have to do that 537 00:20:09,679 --> 00:20:13,600 on a national level nations are 538 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,000 asked to fight it but i think nato can 539 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,600 do a lot by 540 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,799 coordinating by 541 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,559 together um these are attacks um where 542 00:20:26,559 --> 00:20:29,440 we are all confronted with and and nato 543 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:30,720 is best placed to 544 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,520 to to really cooperate and see that we 545 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:34,480

i believe that we were uh 692 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,400 successful enough in order to to reflect 693 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,159 the the current reality 694 00:26:18,159 --> 00:26:21,600 uh yes there are some issues that are uh 695 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,520 closer to us or we we consider it to be 696 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,320 a more difficult uh challenges that are 697 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:27,440 in front of us 698 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,279 including obviously situation with 699 00:26:29,279 --> 00:26:30,960 russia including uh 700 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,360 cyber security and then there are issues 701 00:26:33,360 --> 00:26:35,360 that we believe to be very important 702 00:26:35,360 --> 00:26:38,400 uh but uh still you know you have some 703 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,080 priorities but you know things like 704 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,640 climate change uh things like uh 705 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,679 uh situation in arctics uh see things 706 00:26:45,679 --> 00:26:46,799 like uh 707 00:26:46,799 --> 00:26:50,480 uh ecology and uh impacts of arm forces 708 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,799 on ecology uh this is something that we 709 00:26:52,799 --> 00:26:55,279 certainly have to bear in mind and we 710 00:26:55,279 --> 00:26:57,039 need to be focused so we must be focused 711 00:26:57,039 --> 00:26:57,679 uh 712 00:26:57,679 --> 00:27:00,720 on even though uh still 713 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,000 you do priorities and and you do uh what 714 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:04,400 uh 715 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,760 you you can you what you can pay for 716 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,200 on what your money would you have money 717 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,679 and also uh 718 00:27:11,679 --> 00:27:15,279 what the political situation uh uh 719 00:27:15,279 --> 00:27:17,760 wants from you and they taking this into 720 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:18,960 account i can say that 721 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,679 yes uh security strategies that we have 722 00:27:21,679 --> 00:27:22,080 uh 723 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:23,840 together with the money that we spend on 724 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,159 defense is something that uh that might 725 00:27:26,159 --> 00:27:27,840 be uh useful and help us 726 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:29,679 but if you have uh strategies and you 727 00:27:29,679 --> 00:27:31,679 don't have money i think somebody at 728 00:27:31,679 --> 00:27:33,200 nato summit said that you know if you 729 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,120 have strategies and you don't have money 730 00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:37,520 then it's a hallucination it's not uh 731 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:38,240 something that 732 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,799 uh that you can do and uh none of us i 733 00:27:40,799 --> 00:27:41,360 believe 734 00:27:41,360 --> 00:27:43,760 uh none of three of us would like to 735 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:44,640 would like to 736 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,039 do hello senators we would like to do a 737 00:27:47,039 --> 00:27:48,000 real work and i believe 738 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,559 that uh even after this summit in in 739 00:27:50,559 --> 00:27:51,600 brussels uh 740 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,279 we have a we have a path we want to 741 00:27:53,279 --> 00:27:55,279 follow and i think we can manage 742 00:27:55,279 --> 00:27:57,919 so just to put to read between the lines 743 00:27:57,919 --> 00:27:59,919 and kind of put words in your mouth 744 00:27:59,919 --> 00:28:01,919 you're saying that russia is the most 745 00:28:01,919 --> 00:28:04,399 likely origin of the next black swan 746 00:28:04,399 --> 00:28:07,200 and i assume you mean something along 747 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:08,559 the lines of crimea 748 00:28:08,559 --> 00:28:11,200 not just stopping a plane in

00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,159 about the eastern uh or southeastern 753 00:28:18,159 --> 00:28:19,600 part of ukraine but it's also about 754 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,679 reality that we live in every

than 802 00:29:59,039 --> 00:30:00,559 than the year the last year that we 803 00:30:00,559 --> 00:30:02,080 remember um 804 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:03,840 well thank you actually very much for 805 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:05,440 the question uh 806 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,919 we have been striving to become a nato 807 00:30:07,919 --> 00:30:09,679 member for 30 years this was the first 808 00:30:09,679 --> 00:30:10,799 time actually 809 00:30:10,799 --> 00:30:13,120 that our parliament expressed the 810 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:14,640 interest to join nato 811 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,279 and just as we were moving closer i was 812 00:30:17,279 --> 00:30:19,600 amazed especially in the last few years 813 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,720 how many people within the family 814 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:26,000 take the family and the values 815 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,440 and article 5 for granted and 816 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,480 and they have learned to become a bit 817 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:34,240 complacent 818 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,279 and i i would always ask them to look 819 00:30:37,279 --> 00:30:39,760 uh towards the alliance uh through the 820 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:41,520 eyes of an outsider 821 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,600 and to try and appreciate more what they 822 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:44,640 have so 823 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,760 uh for after almost 30 years of working 824 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,520 very hard to get into the alliance it 825 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,360 was a major victory 826 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,919 it did happen in the midst of the corona 827 00:30:53,919 --> 00:30:55,120 crisis so there was no 828 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:58,399 celebratory mode in in the country 829 00:30:58,399 --> 00:31:01,679 uh but to have article five 830 00:31:01,679 --> 00:31:05,039 uh and to have membership in 831 00:31:05,039 --> 00:31:07,279 the strongest military and political 832 00:31:07,279 --> 00:31:09,039 alliance in the world 833 00:31:09,039 --> 00:31:11,919 20 years after having nato troops within 834 00:31:11,919 --> 00:31:12,799 the country 835 00:31:12,799 --> 00:31:14,480 first to help us deal with our own 836 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,159 internal problems and 837 00:31:16,159 --> 00:31:18,080 some of the regional instabilities it's 838 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,159 a major transformation 839 00:31:20,159 --> 00:31:23,600 and this is why i think even during the 840 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,159 discussions at the summit 841 00:31:26,159 --> 00:31:27,840 i think we were among the more 842 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,399 optimistic tones 843 00:31:30,399 --> 00:31:33,840 because uh i do remember the times when 844 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:34,720 we were 845 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:38,000 uh just waiting for the entry uh 846 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,159 and waiting probably for the entry in 847 00:31:40,159 --> 00:31:41,360 the worst possible moment for the 848 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,519 alliance because back in 2018 when we 849 00:31:43,519 --> 00:31:44,960 got the invitation 850 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,120 many people started asking me how come 851 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,120 you want to get into the alliance and 852 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:50,880 you know we have fears whether the 853 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:52,880 alliance will survive 854 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,600 things have changed and i think that the 855 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:56,080 the 856 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:59,360 the summit uh showed incredible 857 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,880 uh display of uh not only unity 858 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,240 but awareness of how strategic 859 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,559 the importance of the alliance is and it 860 00:32:08,559 --> 00:32:11,120 was a music to our ears 861 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,600 following up on that do you think the 862 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:14,799 black swan 863 00:32:14,799 --> 00:32:18,720 could be an entry of russian troops into 864 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,399 ukraine instead of just building up on 865 00:32:20,399 --> 00:32:21,120 the border 866 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,600 would would nato respond would you push 867 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,440 for nato to respond 868 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:29,039 uh if there is one lesson bad lesson 869 00:32:29,039 --> 00:32:29,519 that we 870 00:32:29,519 --> 00:32:32,799 we we learned expect the unexpected and 871 00:32:32,799 --> 00:32:35,679 uh i when you when i heard you mention 872 00:32:35,679 --> 00:32:37,120 again black swan 873 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,000 i i almost had the idea that some of the 874 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:41,039 things that happened 875 00:32:41,039 --> 00:32:44,240 back home exactly three years ago 876 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:45,919 we signed the presby agreement with 877 00:32:45,919 --> 00:32:48,159 greece for many people it was the black 878 00:32:48,159 --> 00:32:49,120 swan 879 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,440 not in terms of of the negative 880 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,200 repercussions of course in terms of 881 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:54,559 surprise 882 00:32:54,559 --> 00:32:57,200 it was we got used to the dispute with 883 00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:58,799 greece 884 00:32:58,799 --> 00:33:01,840 nobody expected a breakthrough uh nobody 885 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:03,200 expected follow-up 886 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:04,720 many people who saw us sign the 887 00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,240 agreement with greece i said 888 00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,320 okay there is goodwill between the two 889 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:09,279 governments 890 00:33:09,279 --> 00:33:12,320 but it will never work and thirdly and i 891 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,640 think that this was the big surprise 892 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,120 it was an utterly homemade i would say 893 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:18,399 balkan made 894 00:33:18,399 --> 00:33:21,440 compromise friends helped with strong 895 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,120 support with strong messages 896 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:24,960 but genuinely it was the political will 897 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:26,480 of the two governments 898 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,519 to make a meaningful u-turn and 899 00:33:29,519 --> 00:33:31,679 and this is how we became a nato member 900 00:33:31,679 --> 00:33:32,880 state and 901 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,200 this is why uh i think that when we talk 902 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,279 about black swan events 903 00:33:37,279 --> 00:33:40,080 we should also try to challenge us 904 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:41,440 sometimes to do 905 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,960 braver things especially politicians 906 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:46,240 doing something brave 907 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,600 means doing something risky but it's 908 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,320 it's what we are elected to do we are 909 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,559 elected to challenge the status quo 910 00:33:54,559 --> 00:33:57,519 every time we can encounter a problem 911 00:33:57,519 --> 00:33:58,000 and 912 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,679 uh especially when it comes to nato uh 913 00:34:01,679 --> 00:34:05,360 article five is not the only element of 914 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:06,559 the alliance 915 00:34:06,559 --> 00:34:09,679 we have talked a lot about values but 916 00:34:09,679 --> 00:34:10,480 it's 917 00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,520 an elementary part although when i look 918 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:14,000 at the 919 00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,320 the screen uh with the small poll that 920 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:17,520 we did here 921 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,359 you see the big russia sign you see 922 00:34:19,359 --> 00:34:20,960 relatively big china 923 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,280 but if you combine several other things 924 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:24,159 that have appeared 925 00:34:24,159 --> 00:34:26,560 on on the on the screen you will see 926 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:27,520 resilience 927 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,239 you will see uh lost confidence you will 928 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:30,560 see 929 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,599 vulnerabilities within our own societies 930 00:34:33,599 --> 00:34:37,119 i think that the real black swan 931 00:34:37,119 --> 00:34:38,960 which shouldn't be actually a surprise 932 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:40,239 to us all 933 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,440 is are the weaknesses of our our 934 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,399 internal democratic structures if we 935 00:34:46,399 --> 00:34:47,119 don't fail 936 00:34:47,119 --> 00:34:50,239 them we won't fail 937 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,679 when crisis calls upon us thank you 938 00:34:53,679 --> 00:34:55,359 and by the way that's obviously a huge 939 00:34:55,359 --> 00:34:57,200 portfolio and i i realize 940 00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,920 defense minister and scott i aired in 941 00:34:59,920 --> 00:35:00,880 trying to add 942 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:02,960 to your already burgeoning portfolio by 943 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,040 also making you a deputy prime minister 944 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:09,359 so moving on over to vancouver 945 00:35:09,359 --> 00:35:13,440 um minister you have waited patiently 946 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,160 i i know that within your portfolio is 947 00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:17,040 also 948 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,200 uh canada's cryptologic intelligence 949 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,200 agency the communication security 950 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,119 establishment or cse 951 00:35:23,119 --> 00:35:26,400 a la gchq and nsa um 952 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,839 is your black swan possibly related to 953 00:35:28,839 --> 00:35:31,440 that 954 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,440 um no thank you very much uh again for 955 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:34,480 the question and thank 956 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,640 globetsek for inviting me once again and 957 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,800 alongside my esteemed colleagues 958 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:40,960 it's great to be uh virtually connected 959 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:44,480 with you from vancouver 960 00:35:46,240 --> 00:35:48,720 when it comes to a black swan event i 961 00:35:48,720 --> 00:35:50,320 think it's 962 00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,320 we look at what is the likelihood of 963 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,160 something to take place 964 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:57,680 and for example there's climate change 965 00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,000 there's many other events that we have 966 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:01,040 seen in terms of when we 967 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:04,320 when we talk about russia their uh uh 968 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,240 illegal annexation of crimea what's 969 00:36:06,240 --> 00:36:08,640 happening in the donbass area 970 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,760 uh of ukraine russia's already set a 971 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:12,560 pattern 972 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,480 so i don't really consider that a black 973 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:15,760 swan i see that a 974 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,480 pattern and then our actions will 975 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:19,680 counter that pattern 976 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:23,040 when i look at black swan events um i do 977 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:24,480 look at 978 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,960 the cybersphere and i'm very concerned 979 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:28,240 uh with this 980 00:36:28,240 --> 00:36:30,320 it's not just about cyber attacks and 981 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:31,359 we've seen 982 00:36:31,359 --> 00:36:34,320 what can happen to democracies when 983 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:35,599 cyber attacks 984 00:36:35,599 --> 00:36:38,079 are incorporated within a hybrid warfare 985 00:36:38,079 --> 00:36:39,280 context 986 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:40,640 now when you take things to the next 987 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:42,560 level which is probably my biggest 988 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:43,200 concerns 989 00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:46,240 uh in terms of black swan events is when 990 00:36:46,240 --> 00:36:46,960 you 991 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,400 incorporate artificial intelligence the 992 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,839 progress of algorithms have 993 00:36:53,839 --> 00:36:57,680 increased significantly nation states 994 00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:59,280 have already 995 00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:00,800 understood the importance of the 996 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,119 collection of data because as you know 997 00:37:03,119 --> 00:37:06,640 artificial intelligence or or out 998 00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,520 good algorithms um cannot work unless 999 00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,800 you have significant amount of data 1000 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,760 so when you combine those two uh it 1001 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,680 gives a significant concern because it 1002 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,160 allows 1003 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:24,000 states that who have underlying 1004 00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:27,280 uh reasons to take things to the next 1005 00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:28,720 level where they may not be 1006 00:37:28,720 --> 00:37:30,640 able to get away uh because it would 1007 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:32,160 increase the threshold 1008 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:35,040 of response from other nations the cyber 1009 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:35,680 world 1010 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:39,280 allows you to do things that uh 1011 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:43,359 may not get us enough attention so as um 1012 00:37:43,359 --> 00:37:45,359 as i guess from the the previous panel 1013 00:37:45,359 --> 00:37:46,400 talked about 1014 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,560 uh infrastructure that is being created 1015 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,079 around the world we need to be 1016 00:37:50,079 --> 00:37:52,320 very mindful of what type of 1017 00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:53,599 infrastructure 1018 00:37:53,599 --> 00:37:55,920 who is building it does it have that 1019 00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:57,599 cyber resiliency 1020 00:37:57,599 --> 00:37:59,440 because the last thing you want is all 1021 00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,359 of a sudden in your nation 1022 00:38:01,359 --> 00:38:05,280 that uh uh 1023 00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,400 something to take place that that 1024 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:12,320 uh with an on and off switch is in in a 1025 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:13,440 different country 1026 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,480 we have already seen organized crime 1027 00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:20,400 use uh ransomware and hold 1028 00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,359 multi-million or million dollar 1029 00:38:23,359 --> 00:38:24,880 companies to account or even a billion 1030 00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:25,760 dollar companies 1031 00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:27,440 to account so this is something that we 1032 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,359 need to be very mindful and get ready 1033 00:38:29,359 --> 00:38:29,839 for 1034 00:38:29,839 --> 00:38:32,560 um but something that nato and and it's 1035 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,320 uh uh 1036 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,079 all the respective nations are taking it 1037 00:38:36,079 --> 00:38:38,000 very seriously and bringing our 1038 00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,079 collective experience together 1039 00:38:40,079 --> 00:38:43,440 to making sure that we build not only 1040 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,440 look at it from a defense perspective 1041 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:46,560 but look at it as 1042 00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:48,720 a building resiliency in your own 1043 00:38:48,720 --> 00:38:51,040 nations as well 1044 00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:54,400 well i want to move on to the headlines 1045 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,880 and and pick up with what minister 1046 00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,119 sergeant was just talking about 1047 00:38:59,119 --> 00:39:02,400 in the nato communique in the the stated 1048 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,160 goals of nato 1049 00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,160 do you think there was enough in there 1050 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:07,280 to dissuade 1051 00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:11,040 russia or other malign cyber actors 1052 00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:14,640 um from conducting continuing activities 1053 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:18,400 was there enough teeth in there 1054 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:24,000 um one i would say yes 1055 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:27,119 we when it comes to words that 1056 00:39:27,119 --> 00:39:29,680 uh we put out as nations and especially 1057 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:30,960 as part of nato 1058 00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:32,640 uh words do matter at that level 1059 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:34,640 obviously and what we don't want to do 1060 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:35,760 is escalate 1061 00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:39,680 any type of tension but having said this 1062 00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,240 those words have significant meaning 1063 00:39:42,240 --> 00:39:44,480 because those words are backed up by the 1064 00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,720 30 nations and the resources and the 1065 00:39:46,720 --> 00:39:47,359 people 1066 00:39:47,359 --> 00:39:49,680 within those nations and i can assure 1067 00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,359 you from a canadian perspective 1068 00:39:51,359 --> 00:39:54,800 we have significant talent to be able to 1069 00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:55,520 contribute 1070 00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:59,440 so as we build our own uh 1071 00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,560 not build but enhance our capabilities 1072 00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,560 went into the cyber world artificial 1073 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:06,319 intelligence and we have significant 1074 00:40:06,319 --> 00:40:09,040 uh experience um let's go to the next 1075 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:10,800 level uh when it comes to quantum 1076 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:11,920 computing 1077 00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,560 uh we have that uh investment but we 1078 00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:15,119 also 1079 00:40:15,119 --> 00:40:17,599 have now the collective will the 1080 00:40:17,599 --> 00:40:18,319 collective 1081 00:40:18,319 --> 00:40:21,119 resources the con the collective i want 1082 00:40:21,119 --> 00:40:22,319 to talk about resource not 1083 00:40:22,319 --> 00:40:25,119 just dollars i'm talking about people 1084 00:40:25,119 --> 00:40:25,599 that's 1085 00:40:25,599 --> 00:40:27,440 what is needed to making sure that we 1086 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:28,880 take things to the new level 1087 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,839 the institutions and and i think no 1088 00:40:31,839 --> 00:40:32,400 nation 1089 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:36,000 should uh that wants to 1090 00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:40,079 create attention should ever 1091 00:40:40,079 --> 00:40:42,480 take that as that their the will is not 1092 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:43,839 there so we will 1093 00:40:43,839 --> 00:40:46,880 we want to prevent conflict we need to 1094 00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:48,000 get into a place 1095 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,880 where we're actually de-escalating but 1096 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:51,280 uh 1097 00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,680 but as nato's role is to making sure 1098 00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,160 that we prevent so those words do have 1099 00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,960 significant teeth i can assure you so 1100 00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:00,240 you're talking about 1101 00:41:00,240 --> 00:41:02,560 following through with the rattling of 1102 00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,640 the saber having a real concrete 1103 00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:07,680 threat of response so to bring it back 1104 00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,319 in the room here 1105 00:41:10,319 --> 00:41:14,240 president biden told vladimir putin this 1106 00:41:14,240 --> 00:41:16,480 week that if there was 1107 00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,960 a continuing cyber campaign another 1108 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,280 solar winds campaign for instance 1109 00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,480 that he would respond with cyber weapons 1110 00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,440 uh should nato be issuing similar 1111 00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:29,839 threats 1112 00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:34,400 if you're asking me uh you know 1113 00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,319 we've been we've been saying this uh for 1114 00:41:36,319 --> 00:41:37,839 a decade already that it's very 1115 00:41:37,839 --> 00:41:38,960 difficult to 1116 00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:42,319 uh respond uh to adversary 1117 00:41:42,319 --> 00:41:45,359 uh while you're limited by law you're 1118 00:41:45,359 --> 00:41:46,960 limited by a legal system 1119 00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:48,960 and you want to obey you want to obey 1120 00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,440 and you you act in line with law 1121 00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:54,400 uh yes uh harjit already mentioned that 1122 00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:55,839 we are capable 1123 00:41:55,839 --> 00:41:58,160 we are capable of doing certain things 1124 00:41:58,160 --> 00:41:59,440 that you wouldn't even be 1125 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,599 you wouldn't be uh it wouldn't be 1126 00:42:01,599 --> 00:42:03,280 possible for you to imagine 1127 00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,440 uh but we don't do that because we are 1128 00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:07,119 limited because we are limited by the 1129 00:42:07,119 --> 00:42:09,200 law but if somebody is still pushing 1130 00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:09,680 hard 1131 00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:11,920 and more and more on you then you need 1132 00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:12,960 to act 1133 00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:14,640 and we need to be you know we need to 1134 00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,920 face this new situation and uh 1135 00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,960 and act with adequate way uh you know 1136 00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:22,240 the recent situation with 1137 00:42:22,240 --> 00:42:23,760 the pipelines in the united states you 1138 00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:25,359 know this is something even i think that 1139 00:42:25,359 --> 00:42:27,200 president biden already mentioned that 1140 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,920 this is the red line you don't do that 1141 00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:31,280 russia wouldn't be happy if 1142 00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:32,960 if we all focus on pipelines that they 1143 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:34,640 have 1144 00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:36,880 this is critical infrastructure and uh 1145 00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:37,920 you know 1146 00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:41,119 if you allow various actors to state or 1147 00:42:41,119 --> 00:42:41,839 non-stand 1148 00:42:41,839 --> 00:42:45,760 state but actors from your country to to 1149 00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,000 to focus and to attack uh the critical 1150 00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:48,960 infrastructure 1151 00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:50,480 then you need to simply wait for 1152 00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:52,160 reaction that's reality 1153 00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,079 and we are capable the united states is 1154 00:42:54,079 --> 00:42:56,160 capable canada is capable and many of us 1155 00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,319 we're capable also not only on cyber 1156 00:42:58,319 --> 00:43:00,800 defense but also on cyber attack 1157 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:03,359 do we want to do that well uh you know 1158 00:43:03,359 --> 00:43:04,800 if necessary 1159 00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:08,240 uh we should uh really uh 1160 00:43:08,240 --> 00:43:11,440 uh consider all options 1161 00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,680 yet whenever i hear about cyber defense 1162 00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:15,760 and especially cyber offense 1163 00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,720 i hear top security officials say you 1164 00:43:18,720 --> 00:43:20,319 know the norms aren't clear 1165 00:43:20,319 --> 00:43:23,520 we haven't decided what would trigger 1166 00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:26,560 a cyber offensive attack minister 1167 00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:27,440 sacransko 1168 00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:31,200 what would you think is the threshold 1169 00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:34,800 after which um is it disinformation 1170 00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:38,400 is it interfering in a a nato country's 1171 00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:39,440 elections 1172 00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:43,520 or is it critical infrastructure 1173 00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:45,760 well if we are open we'll say that all 1174 00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:47,280 these three lines 1175 00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:50,640 have been crossed already and we have 1176 00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:52,079 seen the price 1177 00:43:52,079 --> 00:43:55,040 and we have seen how disruptive they 1178 00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:56,960 they are 1179 00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,440 and this is why in my view uh the 1180 00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:00,319 scenarios 1181 00:44:00,319 --> 00:44:02,079 for a cyber offensive have to be 1182 00:44:02,079 --> 00:44:04,560 developed 1183 00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:06,800 we all hope that the words will be 1184 00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:07,760 enough 1185 00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:10,400 we all hope that the message will be 1186 00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:10,800 sent 1187 00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,200 out loud and clear and will be 1188 00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:14,800 understood properly 1189 00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,359 but we also have to prepare for 1190 00:44:17,359 --> 00:44:18,880 different scenarios 1191 00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:20,960 and in my mind this is why the summit 1192 00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:22,400 was so important 1193 00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:26,560 the reliability of our alliance 1194 00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:31,119 is key in the deterrence are we for real 1195 00:44:31,119 --> 00:44:33,359 when we say that actions have their 1196 00:44:33,359 --> 00:44:34,880 consequences 1197 00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:38,560 are we you know dedicated to article 5 1198 00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:39,839 even in this uh 1199 00:44:39,839 --> 00:44:42,720 more general form of attacking critical 1200 00:44:42,720 --> 00:44:44,000 infrastructure 1201 00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,359 or attacking our basic tenants of life 1202 00:44:47,359 --> 00:44:47,839 like 1203 00:44:47,839 --> 00:44:50,160 election process you don't need to 1204 00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:51,359 conquer a country 1205 00:44:51,359 --> 00:44:53,280 you just destroy the confidence in their 1206 00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,040 electoral process and you have done most 1207 00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:56,240 of the work 1208 00:44:56,240 --> 00:44:58,000 this is why in my view one of the 1209 00:44:58,000 --> 00:44:59,599 elements that were mentioned in the 1210 00:44:59,599 --> 00:45:01,520 summit and around the summit 1211 00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:04,640 was the importance of technology and 1212 00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:07,040 maintaining the technological edge of 1213 00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:08,560 the alliance 1214 00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,640 it's not just having the technological 1215 00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:11,599 means 1216 00:45:11,599 --> 00:45:13,839 it's also shaping the technological 1217 00:45:13,839 --> 00:45:15,040 regulation 1218 00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:17,200 and i think it was president biden who 1219 00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,119 actually said it before the summit 1220 00:45:19,119 --> 00:45:22,960 that the the use and the regulation for 1221 00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:26,720 for new technologies have to be dictated 1222 00:45:26,720 --> 00:45:27,200 by 1223 00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,760 our values and not by the interest of 1224 00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:31,440 autocratic regimes 1225 00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,480 i think this is uh practically the new 1226 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,720 international order for 21st century 1227 00:45:36,720 --> 00:45:39,200 how do we regulate them and how do we 1228 00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:39,839 use 1229 00:45:39,839 --> 00:45:42,880 our maybe backdated international 1230 00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:46,720 rules order in this new environment 1231 00:45:46,720 --> 00:45:49,119 uh it's it's uh technological 1232 00:45:49,119 --> 00:45:49,920 development 1233 00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,400 it's uh globalization it's climate 1234 00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:54,160 change all these forces 1235 00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,280 are shaping our world at an 1236 00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:57,520 unprecedented 1237 00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:01,119 pace and they are a potential for 1238 00:46:01,119 --> 00:46:03,040 groups of people that can save the world 1239 00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:04,560 but they are a potential 1240 00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:06,319 for groups of within the world that can 1241 00:46:06,319 --> 00:46:09,119 destroy it uh who will be faster 1242 00:46:09,119 --> 00:46:12,240 will prevail well that brings me to 1243 00:46:12,240 --> 00:46:15,599 um a frequent mantra of uh general ben 1244 00:46:15,599 --> 00:46:17,760 hodges who's now retired but he used to 1245 00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:19,200 say the only way 1246 00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:21,359 nato is going to succeed is through 1247 00:46:21,359 --> 00:46:22,880 speed of recognition 1248 00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:26,079 of the problem speed of decision about 1249 00:46:26,079 --> 00:46:27,440 what to do about it 1250 00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:30,400 and then speed of assembly which uh we 1251 00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,079 all know is rather difficult 1252 00:46:32,079 --> 00:46:34,319 to get from point a to point b across 1253 00:46:34,319 --> 00:46:35,920 several european countries because of 1254 00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:36,880 things like 1255 00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:38,640 roads not being able to take the weight 1256 00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:40,000 of the tanks or 1257 00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:43,599 different rail gauges etc 1258 00:46:43,599 --> 00:46:47,200 but but on that speed of decision 1259 00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:49,119 how hard do you think it would be to get 1260 00:46:49,119 --> 00:46:50,240 30 countries just 1261 00:46:50,240 --> 00:46:53,440 to decide to cyber hack back 1262 00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:56,000 against russia and would you call for it 1263 00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:57,040 here 1264 00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:58,800 well you know whether i i used to work 1265 00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:01,040 for our delegation to nato and uh 1266 00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:04,319 and have been very open uh sometimes 1267 00:47:04,319 --> 00:47:07,280 it was frustrating uh to to be a member 1268 00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:08,240 of the committee and 1269 00:47:08,240 --> 00:47:10,160 uh to negotiate and negotiate and 1270 00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:11,280 negotiate 1271 00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:13,520 uh still with one or or two countries 1272 00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:14,720 that don't you know 1273 00:47:14,720 --> 00:47:18,480 follow uh the majority of countries 1274 00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:19,359 around the table 1275 00:47:19,359 --> 00:47:20,800 in certain things just because of 1276 00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,359 national interest 1277 00:47:23,359 --> 00:47:25,440 yeah it's not easy uh the question is 1278 00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:26,640 whether we should uh 1279 00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,599 lift up you know the consensus policy uh 1280 00:47:29,599 --> 00:47:30,880 you know in defense planning we have 1281 00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:32,720 consensus minus one policy and it worked 1282 00:47:32,720 --> 00:47:33,760 quite well 1283 00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:36,400 uh yeah but it's still alliance right 1284 00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:37,680 and you know alliance one one of the 1285 00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:38,079 biggest 1286 00:47:38,079 --> 00:47:40,559 uh advantages that it's uh consensus 1287 00:47:40,559 --> 00:47:41,119 based 1288 00:47:41,119 --> 00:47:43,359 uh so yeah it's it's a difficult issue 1289 00:47:43,359 --> 00:47:44,160 but yes 1290 00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:45,920 uh there were some situations in the 1291 00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:47,280 history of nato when 1292 00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:51,040 uh the agreement uh even did not come 1293 00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:54,240 uh or uh it took very long time 1294 00:47:54,240 --> 00:47:56,800 uh so but as you know i still believe 1295 00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:57,359 that you know 1296 00:47:57,359 --> 00:47:59,680 in situations like uh article five 1297 00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:01,040 situations when the 1298 00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:04,000 the situation is really uh difficult and 1299 00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:05,920 under pressure then i believe that all 1300 00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:06,880 countries 1301 00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:08,800 would eventually come to a joint 1302 00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:10,800 solution and i don't think that if 1303 00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:12,240 the situation is really crucial and 1304 00:48:12,240 --> 00:48:14,640 difficult then that that did we would 1305 00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:18,400 wait for somebody else trying to 1306 00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:20,240 push hard for their national interest 1307 00:48:20,240 --> 00:48:22,240 and and blackmail others with 1308 00:48:22,240 --> 00:48:25,599 their you know national interests uh uh 1309 00:48:25,599 --> 00:48:28,160 instead of uh playing the same the same 1310 00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:29,680 game with with the others so 1311 00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:31,440 uh i don't think this will be a big 1312 00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:32,880 problem but yes some 1313 00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:36,319 uh some uh bigger or 1314 00:48:36,319 --> 00:48:39,599 high quality uh decision making in nato 1315 00:48:39,599 --> 00:48:40,000 uh 1316 00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:43,200 is a very uh good uh topic for the next 1317 00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:44,240 conference 1318 00:48:44,240 --> 00:48:47,200 fantastic okay so we have a little over 1319 00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:48,240 half an hour left 1320 00:48:48,240 --> 00:48:50,559 but before i turn to audience questions 1321 00:48:50,559 --> 00:48:51,839 and we've already got some great ones 1322 00:48:51,839 --> 00:48:52,720 coming in um 1323 00:48:52,720 --> 00:48:55,280 i'll also call on you in the room um i i 1324 00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:56,800 did want to talk about 1325 00:48:56,800 --> 00:49:00,079 um the uh as our 1326 00:49:00,079 --> 00:49:01,680 north macedonian minister has mentioned 1327 00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:03,839 technology um 1328 00:49:03,839 --> 00:49:07,200 i got the honor of being part of 1329 00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:10,400 globe sex outreach to industry on behalf 1330 00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:11,200 of nato 1331 00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:14,079 where they put members of industry on 1332 00:49:14,079 --> 00:49:16,000 chatham house rules panels together 1333 00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,319 with nato officials and i got the most 1334 00:49:18,319 --> 00:49:20,480 unusual instruction i've ever gotten as 1335 00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:21,440 a moderator 1336 00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:24,400 they said we want people to be blunt we 1337 00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:25,040 want 1338 00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:27,200 criticism and because it was chatham 1339 00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:28,319 house rules i can't tell you what the 1340 00:49:28,319 --> 00:49:29,359 criticism was but 1341 00:49:29,359 --> 00:49:30,880 but the the industry officials were 1342 00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:32,480 blunt um 1343 00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:35,359 and uh 1344 00:49:36,079 --> 00:49:38,000 one of the things that we all know is a 1345 00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:39,599 problem is 1346 00:49:39,599 --> 00:49:42,839 speed of implementation and nato's 1347 00:49:42,839 --> 00:49:44,480 acquisition program 1348 00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:47,520 which um has been described to me as 1349 00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:50,240 uh so outdated that often the adversary 1350 00:49:50,240 --> 00:49:51,680 is already working on the 1351 00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:54,160 third iteration of the nato design by 1352 00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:55,920 the time it rolls off the nato assembly 1353 00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:56,720 line 1354 00:49:56,720 --> 00:50:00,240 so so um i'd like to start with our 1355 00:50:00,240 --> 00:50:03,920 canadian uh colleague uh 1356 00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:05,760 nato also announced on monday an 1357 00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:07,040 accelerator 1358 00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:09,040 for industry and new funding for 1359 00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:10,240 industry to kind of 1360 00:50:10,240 --> 00:50:13,040 try to jump start this process you have 1361 00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:15,280 something similar in canada 1362 00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:17,200 is it is it a model nato could follow 1363 00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:18,160 because it sounds like what they 1364 00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:20,240 outlined monday was very 1365 00:50:20,240 --> 00:50:24,640 um fluffy not a lot of detail yet 1366 00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:26,960 i i think uh one is also to your 1367 00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:28,720 previous questions when it comes to 1368 00:50:28,720 --> 00:50:31,359 nato and we look at nato consensus and 1369 00:50:31,359 --> 00:50:32,640 the work that you do 1370 00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:35,200 and it seems cumbersome but these are 1371 00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:37,520 the values that are very important 1372 00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:42,000 that uh uh that gives us that deterrence 1373 00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,240 is you have 30 nations who are coming 1374 00:50:44,240 --> 00:50:45,119 together 1375 00:50:45,119 --> 00:50:46,960 and when they do come together to make 1376 00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:49,040 that decision on consensus 1377 00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:51,760 it means something but let's not forget 1378 00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:52,880 we also 1379 00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:56,640 not only as as as as nations but 1380 00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:59,680 we work bilaterally uh we on security 1381 00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:00,720 issues 1382 00:51:00,720 --> 00:51:02,319 there's so many things that are 1383 00:51:02,319 --> 00:51:05,760 happening with within the nato context 1384 00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:08,319 even though it might be bilateral that 1385 00:51:08,319 --> 00:51:09,680 it it 1386 00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:12,720 those those initiatives enhance 1387 00:51:12,720 --> 00:51:16,240 nato as well so when it comes to 1388 00:51:16,240 --> 00:51:19,599 uh innovation this is something that we 1389 00:51:19,599 --> 00:51:20,720 took very seriously 1390 00:51:20,720 --> 00:51:22,559 and actually had that direct 1391 00:51:22,559 --> 00:51:24,160 conversation with the industry when we 1392 00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:24,800 created 1393 00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:27,200 our defense policy because we knew that 1394 00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:27,839 we 1395 00:51:27,839 --> 00:51:29,920 in the uh in the military could not 1396 00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:31,680 succeed without 1397 00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:33,760 uh without industry so we asked them 1398 00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:34,880 blunt questions 1399 00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:36,960 what what where are we failing what do 1400 00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:39,040 we need to do and they were very blunt 1401 00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:40,800 and they said we it's easier to work 1402 00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:42,640 outside of canada than inside canada so 1403 00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:44,000 we wanted to change that 1404 00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:45,520 so we started to look at changing 1405 00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:47,680 procurement rules we they also said we 1406 00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:48,240 don't know 1407 00:51:48,240 --> 00:51:49,920 what you're working towards it's all 1408 00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:51,599 something so classified 1409 00:51:51,599 --> 00:51:53,680 we need predictability so what we did 1410 00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:55,839 was one was give greater predictability 1411 00:51:55,839 --> 00:51:57,280 and so we put out 1412 00:51:57,280 --> 00:51:59,280 not only our defense policy but a 1413 00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:02,160 defense investment plan out for 10 years 1414 00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:04,400 and we updated every uh three to four 1415 00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:06,480 years so they get predictability 1416 00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:08,000 but through that from the innovation 1417 00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:09,520 side what we wanted to do is 1418 00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:11,839 we throw challenges so what we a program 1419 00:52:11,839 --> 00:52:13,599 we call ideas innovation for defense 1420 00:52:13,599 --> 00:52:15,680 excellence and security 1421 00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:18,720 throw out challenges um not just to 1422 00:52:18,720 --> 00:52:21,599 industry to academia to anybody 1423 00:52:21,599 --> 00:52:23,119 working even in a garage if they have an 1424 00:52:23,119 --> 00:52:25,760 idea is here's a challenge that we have 1425 00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:28,880 and and they will propose ideas 1426 00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:30,720 they will compete with those ideas will 1427 00:52:30,720 --> 00:52:32,319 be competed and 1428 00:52:32,319 --> 00:52:34,960 it what it goes through a panel and then 1429 00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:35,839 we invest 1430 00:52:35,839 --> 00:52:38,960 in that idea if that idea shows progress 1431 00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:40,160 we will invest greater 1432 00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:43,680 uh greater resources and money and then 1433 00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:45,760 this helps whether it's a company an 1434 00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:47,839 individual academia 1435 00:52:47,839 --> 00:52:50,160 take their idea to a new level but we 1436 00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:51,680 get to be the benefactor 1437 00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:54,160 beneficiary of utilizing it so at the 1438 00:52:54,160 --> 00:52:55,359 same time 1439 00:52:55,359 --> 00:52:58,240 as canada benefits our nato allies 1440 00:52:58,240 --> 00:52:58,960 benefit 1441 00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:02,640 uh as well so um so 1442 00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:04,400 so in a roundabout way we're all 1443 00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:06,720 benefiting together having said this 1444 00:53:06,720 --> 00:53:08,800 yes absolutely we need to be able to 1445 00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:10,559 share our ideas and this is something 1446 00:53:10,559 --> 00:53:11,760 that has worked very well 1447 00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:13,119 and we're actually already modifying 1448 00:53:13,119 --> 00:53:16,000 things because we have classified things 1449 00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:17,119 so often 1450 00:53:17,119 --> 00:53:19,359 that sometimes the civilian sector has 1451 00:53:19,359 --> 00:53:21,040 already solved that problem 1452 00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:22,800 so what i've said to our innovation 1453 00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:24,160 folks is get out there 1454 00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:26,720 see what what the industry is doing 1455 00:53:26,720 --> 00:53:27,599 sometimes 1456 00:53:27,599 --> 00:53:29,520 a little tweak here and there with a 1457 00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:32,000 product can be of great value 1458 00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:34,480 um to us so but we don't just look at it 1459 00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:36,240 from a defense from a cyber 1460 00:53:36,240 --> 00:53:38,319 or or weapons or defensive weapons we're 1461 00:53:38,319 --> 00:53:40,400 also looking at how we manage our people 1462 00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:40,960 as well 1463 00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:43,280 how we have dealt with the pandemic um 1464 00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:44,160 so it has been 1465 00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:46,800 very successful um and where we've been 1466 00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:49,359 for example invested 1.6 million dollars 1467 00:53:49,359 --> 00:53:51,839 over the 20-year lifespan of our defense 1468 00:53:51,839 --> 00:53:52,559 policy 1469 00:53:52,559 --> 00:53:55,440 just in the ideas program minister 1470 00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:56,880 sergeant is there anything like a 1471 00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:57,680 specific 1472 00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:00,079 product that you've been able to almost 1473 00:54:00,079 --> 00:54:03,359 bring to market through this process 1474 00:54:03,359 --> 00:54:05,920 um there's many things uh uh that we've 1475 00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:07,040 done so for example 1476 00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:10,960 um how we uh recreate uh recruit 1477 00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:14,319 um uh in greater diversity recruiting a 1478 00:54:14,319 --> 00:54:15,760 woman but we also 1479 00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:18,720 um uh for example during this pandemic 1480 00:54:18,720 --> 00:54:19,040 how 1481 00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:22,800 um a certain pro reusable 1482 00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:26,880 uh ppe we're also have um 1483 00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:28,640 you know smaller challenges and how for 1484 00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:31,119 example with people with uh with beards 1485 00:54:31,119 --> 00:54:33,680 uh in the military how do you how do you 1486 00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:34,240 put a 1487 00:54:34,240 --> 00:54:36,000 respirator on we're also looking at 1488 00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,319 everything from in the cyber domain 1489 00:54:38,319 --> 00:54:40,079 so there's many different examples that 1490 00:54:40,079 --> 00:54:41,359 can be uh that 1491 00:54:41,359 --> 00:54:44,720 that i can utilize and we've 1492 00:54:44,720 --> 00:54:46,960 uh have many products that are moving 1493 00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:50,240 but probably the most 1494 00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:53,680 the beneficial side that i have seen is 1495 00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:55,040 that collaboration 1496 00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:57,359 that that has taken place those networks 1497 00:54:57,359 --> 00:54:58,640 that are creating 1498 00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:01,040 because one uh product over here or 1499 00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:01,760 discussion 1500 00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:04,720 may lead to um other ideas and and what 1501 00:55:04,720 --> 00:55:05,680 i've said is this 1502 00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:08,079 is putting finding that right talent is 1503 00:55:08,079 --> 00:55:08,960 probably the more 1504 00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:10,720 even far more important than the one 1505 00:55:10,720 --> 00:55:12,319 product it's itself 1506 00:55:12,319 --> 00:55:14,240 and we're working very closely with the 1507 00:55:14,240 --> 00:55:16,640 us obviously when it comes to the arctic 1508 00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:19,200 on what type of uh security challenges 1509 00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:20,480 that we see you see 1510 00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:22,400 in the north and uh we want to be able 1511 00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:23,760 to share a lot of that experience 1512 00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:26,240 with with our nato allies as well thank 1513 00:55:26,240 --> 00:55:26,960 you 1514 00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:30,000 um with that i would like to turn to the 1515 00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:31,040 audience i already 1516 00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:32,640 gave you a heads up we'd be turning to 1517 00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:34,000 questions and we've got some good ones 1518 00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:35,119 coming in 1519 00:55:35,119 --> 00:55:38,319 but i would like to do to pulse you with 1520 00:55:38,319 --> 00:55:39,440 a word cloud 1521 00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:42,480 through your slido app and 1522 00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:45,839 ask you all what you see it as the 1523 00:55:45,839 --> 00:55:49,160 top obstacle to nato modernization and 1524 00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:50,319 interoperability 1525 00:55:50,319 --> 00:55:52,960 picking up on what mr minister sajin was 1526 00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:55,520 just talking about 1527 00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:58,480 and as you all think about that i see 1528 00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:01,520 some people picking up their apps 1529 00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:04,799 i will go to one of the first questions 1530 00:56:04,799 --> 00:56:08,000 oh actually i should wait until 1531 00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:10,160 i should i should let the the screen 1532 00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:12,640 populate a little bit more 1533 00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:15,520 i'm rushing people's thought process 1534 00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:17,280 consensus 1535 00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:20,720 huh the defense industry 1536 00:56:20,720 --> 00:56:24,480 ah as an obstacle um 1537 00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:26,000 we'll have to have some conversations 1538 00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:29,040 over the uh that end lunch about that 1539 00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:32,880 um private sector leading that could be 1540 00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:34,480 um well one of the complaints i 1541 00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:35,839 frequently hear from the defense 1542 00:56:35,839 --> 00:56:36,960 industry is 1543 00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:39,520 uh they are brought into the process too 1544 00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:40,720 late in the game 1545 00:56:40,720 --> 00:56:42,559 and then are told to like basically we 1546 00:56:42,559 --> 00:56:44,960 need you to produce a solution overnight 1547 00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:46,480 and of course classification issues are 1548 00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:48,000 part of the problem 1549 00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:49,520 as mr sergeant also mentioned 1550 00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:51,599 bureaucracy is the one 1551 00:56:51,599 --> 00:56:54,480 that is coming up the most so the system 1552 00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:55,839 that is supposed to help us 1553 00:56:55,839 --> 00:56:58,640 is slowing us down wow a lot lot for 1554 00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:00,160 defense industry 1555 00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:03,440 sorry guys um north south infrastructure 1556 00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:04,799 that's something that we have also heard 1557 00:57:04,799 --> 00:57:06,079 about you know 1558 00:57:06,079 --> 00:57:09,119 russia was able to get all of its troops 1559 00:57:09,119 --> 00:57:12,319 um to where it intended very quickly 1560 00:57:12,319 --> 00:57:14,720 during its recent zapad exercises 1561 00:57:14,720 --> 00:57:17,760 whereas i understand that nato had some 1562 00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:19,119 people that took 1563 00:57:19,119 --> 00:57:21,119 days if not weeks to get there because 1564 00:57:21,119 --> 00:57:22,720 some of their equipment wouldn't fit on 1565 00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:24,640 the right trains or certain trains can 1566 00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:25,520 only take 1567 00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:28,480 military cargo overnight et cetera et 1568 00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:30,079 cetera 1569 00:57:30,079 --> 00:57:33,520 so let me turn to a question from 1570 00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:36,960 uh matu slovaki from moody's data shows 1571 00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:37,520 increased 1572 00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:39,760 activity of chinese state-owned 1573 00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:42,559 companies buying intellectual property 1574 00:57:42,559 --> 00:57:45,200 how can you avoid hegemony of some vital 1575 00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:46,000 aspects 1576 00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:49,440 things like 5g and quantum computing 1577 00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:51,760 so so that's that's some something i i 1578 00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:54,319 heard debated a lot in nsa and gchq 1579 00:57:54,319 --> 00:57:56,160 circles 1580 00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:59,040 people don't understand they would say 1581 00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:00,319 that 1582 00:58:00,319 --> 00:58:01,920 china is buying their way into your 1583 00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:04,400 systems 1584 00:58:04,799 --> 00:58:07,599 minister would you like to take that one 1585 00:58:07,599 --> 00:58:08,160 oh 1586 00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:11,280 well on on 5g we have been rather 1587 00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:14,480 bold lately uh based on some 1588 00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:16,960 negative experiences uh back home in 1589 00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:18,480 north macedonia but also 1590 00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:20,720 in the region we have signed a 1591 00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:23,440 memorandum of understanding with the u.s 1592 00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:26,000 uh saying that we will be very 1593 00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:27,280 restrictive 1594 00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:29,920 on on technology coming from countries 1595 00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:31,920 where there is no democratic control 1596 00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:33,599 and there are vested and hidden 1597 00:58:33,599 --> 00:58:35,359 interests 1598 00:58:35,359 --> 00:58:39,040 it's a document that can be signed but 1599 00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:40,240 implementation 1600 00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:42,319 lags behind because it requires a lot of 1601 00:58:42,319 --> 00:58:43,920 procedural things 1602 00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:46,559 and what we have been focusing lately is 1603 00:58:46,559 --> 00:58:48,160 of course the discussion about 1604 00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:50,400 strategic investments and screening of 1605 00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:52,559 strategic investors 1606 00:58:52,559 --> 00:58:55,040 we have had some experience with chinese 1607 00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:57,839 loans on infrastructure 1608 00:58:57,839 --> 00:58:59,440 not as bad as some of the other 1609 00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:00,960 countries in the balkans 1610 00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:03,839 but we are still waiting for one of the 1611 00:59:03,839 --> 00:59:05,760 very expensive highways to be 1612 00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:09,119 to be constructed but we saw this as an 1613 00:59:09,119 --> 00:59:11,520 element of vulnerability 1614 00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:14,240 uh not because infrastructure is only 1615 00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:16,160 important for defense as you said 1616 00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:19,119 but because it it it undermines the 1617 00:59:19,119 --> 00:59:20,480 institutions 1618 00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:23,839 so uh i do believe that what we can work 1619 00:59:23,839 --> 00:59:24,160 with 1620 00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:27,599 is a much better cooperation within nato 1621 00:59:27,599 --> 00:59:29,440 on discussing our own internal 1622 00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:30,799 regulations 1623 00:59:30,799 --> 00:59:33,680 i'm sometimes shocked when you know a 1624 00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:35,760 conversation between two ministers can 1625 00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:37,760 touch a very sensitive thing on how do 1626 00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:38,240 we do 1627 00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:40,400 these procurements better how do we 1628 00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:41,520 protect ourselves 1629 00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:43,599 in these sensitive areas better and 1630 00:59:43,599 --> 00:59:46,160 sometimes a 15-minute discussion 1631 00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:48,240 actually can be more helpful to us as 1632 00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:49,280 ministers 1633 00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:51,680 than long discussions and long documents 1634 00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:52,480 that haven't 1635 00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:55,839 led us anywhere so in my view uh 1636 00:59:55,839 --> 00:59:59,359 uh on on mobility it's a shame 1637 00:59:59,359 --> 01:00:02,319 that we cannot do better uh we have been 1638 01:00:02,319 --> 01:00:03,680 discussing this issue 1639 01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:06,160 uh there were movements but because of 1640 01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:08,000 national regulations and because 1641 01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:10,079 we are used to things moving slowly on 1642 01:00:10,079 --> 01:00:11,359 these fronts 1643 01:00:11,359 --> 01:00:13,599 uh i think that we are lagging behind we 1644 01:00:13,599 --> 01:00:16,160 are dealing with strategic adversary in 1645 01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:17,760 countries where 1646 01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:20,799 institutions uh private sector and 1647 01:00:20,799 --> 01:00:22,480 academia 1648 01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:24,720 work under the same umbrella all the 1649 01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:25,760 time 1650 01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:29,040 and we cannot afford a relaxed 1651 01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:31,040 relationship and i think we should go 1652 01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:32,559 back to the basis and discuss 1653 01:00:32,559 --> 01:00:34,480 some of the our experiences with 1654 01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:35,599 regulation 1655 01:00:35,599 --> 01:00:37,839 and reconsider some of them i saw the 1656 01:00:37,839 --> 01:00:39,119 bureaucracy 1657 01:00:39,119 --> 01:00:42,480 looming from the screen but we are 1658 01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:44,319 victims of our own successes 1659 01:00:44,319 --> 01:00:47,359 i mean the whole procurement uh policy 1660 01:00:47,359 --> 01:00:48,720 has been developed 1661 01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:50,559 on the premises of transparency 1662 01:00:50,559 --> 01:00:52,720 competition and it has brought huge 1663 01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:54,960 dividends 1664 01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:57,119 now you know there are some costs 1665 01:00:57,119 --> 01:00:58,799 attached to it so we should 1666 01:00:58,799 --> 01:01:00,960 look at these issues with a fresh set of 1667 01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:03,359 eyes and i think that we can we should 1668 01:01:03,359 --> 01:01:05,280 reconsider some of these things 1669 01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:08,319 uh a discussion with industry is great 1670 01:01:08,319 --> 01:01:11,599 but you know uh defense is about huge 1671 01:01:11,599 --> 01:01:12,640 acquisitions 1672 01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:15,119 huge amounts of money if you talk to the 1673 01:01:15,119 --> 01:01:17,680 industry sometimes you are attacked 1674 01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:20,400 for liaising with them or or having 1675 01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:21,280 vested interest 1676 01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:23,920 so how do you go around this maintaining 1677 01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:26,240 the confidence of our citizens 1678 01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:28,720 while making these procurements 1679 01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:29,760 realistic 1680 01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:32,559 goals and making them successful i don't 1681 01:01:32,559 --> 01:01:32,960 think 1682 01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:36,000 it's not an easy equation but i think 1683 01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:37,359 that some of the countries were more 1684 01:01:37,359 --> 01:01:38,079 successful 1685 01:01:38,079 --> 01:01:40,640 in dealing with them and i think eve you 1686 01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:42,240 know new countries especially but even 1687 01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:43,920 some of the old member states 1688 01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:46,720 should not shy away from uh you know 1689 01:01:46,720 --> 01:01:47,359 maybe 1690 01:01:47,359 --> 01:01:50,400 reassessing the policies thank you um if 1691 01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:51,839 anyone in the room would like to stand 1692 01:01:51,839 --> 01:01:53,599 up and ask a question raise your hand so 1693 01:01:53,599 --> 01:01:54,640 i can um 1694 01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:57,920 spot you um but in the meantime i have a 1695 01:01:57,920 --> 01:01:58,559 question 1696 01:01:58,559 --> 01:02:02,480 um oh uh mister you wanted to add 1697 01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:04,000 yeah i just wanted to add a few things 1698 01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:05,599 on the three points that were raised 1699 01:02:05,599 --> 01:02:07,280 here first of all uh 1700 01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:09,839 yeah if you would be asking me on ops on 1701 01:02:09,839 --> 01:02:11,039 the biggest obstacle 1702 01:02:11,039 --> 01:02:13,359 uh then it's definitely and i and i had 1703 01:02:13,359 --> 01:02:14,079 it written 1704 01:02:14,079 --> 01:02:16,960 before it appeared on the screen a legal 1705 01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:18,079 uh regulation 1706 01:02:18,079 --> 01:02:21,440 in public procurement i mean uh 1707 01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:23,599 at a certain period of time you you have 1708 01:02:23,599 --> 01:02:25,440 to acquire something uh 1709 01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:28,000 uh really fast and especially with the 1710 01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:29,920 covet situation for example 1711 01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:32,559 this is the lesson that we learned uh a 1712 01:02:32,559 --> 01:02:33,599 year ago 1713 01:02:33,599 --> 01:02:36,799 and uh it took us a very long time in 1714 01:02:36,799 --> 01:02:38,880 order to follow all the regulations uh 1715 01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:41,760 and realize that actually uh this is 1716 01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:42,640 this is a 1717 01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:45,760 legal regulation for good times but for 1718 01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:48,000 bad times uh you need something else and 1719 01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:49,200 i honestly saying now 1720 01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:51,920 we had a ballot discussion with my uh 1721 01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:52,720 dear colleague 1722 01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:54,640 ramila and uh we actually had very 1723 01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:56,480 similar positions in terms of 1724 01:02:56,480 --> 01:02:59,200 how we can uh fasten the whole process 1725 01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:00,160 uh make it uh 1726 01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:02,319 make it really fast including things 1727 01:03:02,319 --> 01:03:03,520 like nato 1728 01:03:03,520 --> 01:03:04,960 supplies and procurement agency that 1729 01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:06,640 that works quite well for slovakia for 1730 01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:07,440 example 1731 01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:10,079 or uh american system foreign military 1732 01:03:10,079 --> 01:03:10,720 sales or 1733 01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:13,440 for military fund or canadian uh 1734 01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:14,240 hardship good 1735 01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:16,319 good thing is also your ccc system that 1736 01:03:16,319 --> 01:03:17,599 you have uh 1737 01:03:17,599 --> 01:03:19,680 for procurement uh on bilateral gtg 1738 01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:21,359 basis this is something that we 1739 01:03:21,359 --> 01:03:23,599 should use more and you know while 1740 01:03:23,599 --> 01:03:25,039 talking about this i also 1741 01:03:25,039 --> 01:03:26,640 also mentioned the cooperation with the 1742 01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:28,319 private sector which is extremely 1743 01:03:28,319 --> 01:03:29,599 crucially important because you know 1744 01:03:29,599 --> 01:03:31,839 usually we are users we would like to 1745 01:03:31,839 --> 01:03:33,760 have a certain uh capability but 1746 01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:36,880 it's actually usually uh the private 1747 01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:39,039 sector that comes with solutions 1748 01:03:39,039 --> 01:03:42,559 uh and you know i i i'm the one who 1749 01:03:42,559 --> 01:03:44,960 is not you know afraid of meeting uh 1750 01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:45,839 companies 1751 01:03:45,839 --> 01:03:47,520 because for us for defence ministers it 1752 01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:49,520 is extremely important to talk to 1753 01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:52,799 state sector ngo academia and the 1754 01:03:52,799 --> 01:03:54,160 private sector if you want to 1755 01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:55,599 if you want to be responsible for whole 1756 01:03:55,599 --> 01:03:57,920 defense then the defense sector is 1757 01:03:57,920 --> 01:03:59,440 defense industry 1758 01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:01,839 it's uh extremely important and last 1759 01:04:01,839 --> 01:04:03,200 point on 5g 1760 01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:06,880 uh yes very similar to torad mila's 1761 01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:08,640 point we have also signed the memorandum 1762 01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:10,240 of united states on on 1763 01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:13,680 you know being very responsible in 5g 1764 01:04:13,680 --> 01:04:17,119 but you know being honest uh 1765 01:04:17,119 --> 01:04:18,880 the pressure economic pressure that 1766 01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:22,880 comes from countries that uh 1767 01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:26,000 might create difficulties for us in 5g 1768 01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:26,799 uh 1769 01:04:26,799 --> 01:04:29,119 area this economic pressure the 1770 01:04:29,119 --> 01:04:30,880 financial pressure is extreme 1771 01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:32,799 and it's sometimes it's uh yes it's the 1772 01:04:32,799 --> 01:04:33,920 discussion about uh 1773 01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:36,480 values about security but it's also 1774 01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:37,520 discussion 1775 01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:40,720 on the cabinet level about uh labor 1776 01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:41,599 about money 1777 01:04:41,599 --> 01:04:44,640 about investments and uh this discussion 1778 01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:45,599 is not black and white 1779 01:04:45,599 --> 01:04:48,079 obviously so you know security on one 1780 01:04:48,079 --> 01:04:48,960 side 1781 01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:51,520 but new jobs for uh undeveloped areas in 1782 01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:53,280 slovakia on other side right 1783 01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:55,280 and you need to you need to find a 1784 01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:57,680 proper proper balance 1785 01:04:57,680 --> 01:04:59,839 before i go to another app question i i 1786 01:04:59,839 --> 01:05:01,039 would like to ask 1787 01:05:01,039 --> 01:05:05,039 minister sajon i you um especially with 1788 01:05:05,039 --> 01:05:05,520 your 1789 01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:08,480 um oversight over cse you must 1790 01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:09,200 understand 1791 01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:12,319 better than most what technical 1792 01:05:12,319 --> 01:05:13,599 capabilities 1793 01:05:13,599 --> 01:05:16,559 various cyber actors have um including 1794 01:05:16,559 --> 01:05:18,480 china 1795 01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:21,920 can you a lot of europeans uh nato 1796 01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:23,280 members 1797 01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:25,119 apparently pushed back behind closed 1798 01:05:25,119 --> 01:05:27,280 doors at the nato summit 1799 01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:30,240 and basically said to the white house uh 1800 01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:31,920 to president biden 1801 01:05:31,920 --> 01:05:34,319 you have this jingoistic fight going on 1802 01:05:34,319 --> 01:05:34,960 against 1803 01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:37,359 china and you want us to cut them off 1804 01:05:37,359 --> 01:05:39,200 but they're one of the world's largest 1805 01:05:39,200 --> 01:05:39,680 um 1806 01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:42,960 manufacturers we can't do that 1807 01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:46,960 can you can you come in as a as a 1808 01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:50,559 kind of the neutral actor to explain 1809 01:05:50,559 --> 01:05:52,720 the threat of china without people 1810 01:05:52,720 --> 01:05:53,599 dismissing it 1811 01:05:53,599 --> 01:05:56,290 as you know a fight between um 1812 01:05:56,290 --> 01:05:57,440 [Music] 1813 01:05:57,440 --> 01:05:59,920 two two kids in the schoolyard a 1814 01:05:59,920 --> 01:06:02,079 dangerous fight 1815 01:06:02,079 --> 01:06:03,920 no absolutely i think extremely 1816 01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:05,119 important you want to take canada's 1817 01:06:05,119 --> 01:06:06,480 example on this um 1818 01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:09,119 i mean our history is known we canada is 1819 01:06:09,119 --> 01:06:10,559 a peace-loving nation we've 1820 01:06:10,559 --> 01:06:13,200 but we've been uh taking part in every 1821 01:06:13,200 --> 01:06:13,680 nato 1822 01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:16,720 uh opera operations um uh 1823 01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:19,039 and in when we're trying to be a 1824 01:06:19,039 --> 01:06:20,720 responsible partner in the in 1825 01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:23,599 in the world uh all of a sudden uh a 1826 01:06:23,599 --> 01:06:24,799 nation like china 1827 01:06:24,799 --> 01:06:27,680 uh uh arbitrarily detains your citizens 1828 01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:28,640 um 1829 01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:32,880 because uh of uh um 1830 01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:36,240 and sorry and that hostage diplomacy 1831 01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:37,440 that takes place 1832 01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:40,240 all of a sudden changes your perspective 1833 01:06:40,240 --> 01:06:40,720 um 1834 01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:43,839 on things so we know 1835 01:06:43,839 --> 01:06:47,520 that china has obviously a 1836 01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:49,599 value and a responsibility in the world 1837 01:06:49,599 --> 01:06:51,520 they're growing economic power we all 1838 01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:52,240 know that 1839 01:06:52,240 --> 01:06:54,160 there is an opportunity for everyone to 1840 01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:56,240 benefit from this however 1841 01:06:56,240 --> 01:06:59,280 the international rules based order 1842 01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:01,440 offers predictability to nations that 1843 01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:02,720 predictability 1844 01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:06,000 is absolutely essential for nations to 1845 01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:08,240 be able to interact with one another 1846 01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:11,119 to be able to make sure that our trade 1847 01:07:11,119 --> 01:07:12,240 moves because if 1848 01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:14,480 if that international rules based order 1849 01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:15,599 is undermined 1850 01:07:15,599 --> 01:07:18,559 all our nations um uh have an impact and 1851 01:07:18,559 --> 01:07:20,319 the last thing you want is to be able to 1852 01:07:20,319 --> 01:07:21,200 put 1853 01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:23,039 a nation put yourself in a situation 1854 01:07:23,039 --> 01:07:24,319 like this right now we have two 1855 01:07:24,319 --> 01:07:25,359 canadians that have been 1856 01:07:25,359 --> 01:07:27,359 detained for over over two years but 1857 01:07:27,359 --> 01:07:28,799 let's not forget other nations we're 1858 01:07:28,799 --> 01:07:31,680 talking about 5g 1859 01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:34,720 it's not just a decision moving forward 1860 01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:36,880 nations have to look at what decisions 1861 01:07:36,880 --> 01:07:38,559 were made in the past to making sure 1862 01:07:38,559 --> 01:07:40,720 that their infrastructure is prepared 1863 01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:42,799 for the future so i'll give you an 1864 01:07:42,799 --> 01:07:43,839 example of this 1865 01:07:43,839 --> 01:07:47,280 so within cse um we and when it came to 1866 01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:48,559 4g technology 1867 01:07:48,559 --> 01:07:51,599 we worked very closely with 1868 01:07:51,599 --> 01:07:54,559 the telecommunication sector to be able 1869 01:07:54,559 --> 01:07:56,000 to take a look at what type of 1870 01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:57,680 systems being were being placed across 1871 01:07:57,680 --> 01:07:59,039 the country and especially in core 1872 01:07:59,039 --> 01:08:02,559 areas and we have an extremely good idea 1873 01:08:02,559 --> 01:08:04,000 exactly where 1874 01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:06,079 uh uh and what is needed uh to move 1875 01:08:06,079 --> 01:08:07,680 forward so our 4g 1876 01:08:07,680 --> 01:08:10,880 infrastructure is very solid um and 1877 01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:11,520 we've 1878 01:08:11,520 --> 01:08:13,119 we have to make some minor changes and 1879 01:08:13,119 --> 01:08:14,000 upgrades and working with the 1880 01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:15,280 telecommunication companies and we're 1881 01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:16,560 going to be strengthening that that as 1882 01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:17,120 well 1883 01:08:17,120 --> 01:08:20,560 so moving forward our 5g uh 1884 01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:22,479 infrastructure will be just a stronger 1885 01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:24,000 if not better cse now 1886 01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:26,238 has is not just about adding resources 1887 01:08:26,238 --> 01:08:27,040 and technology 1888 01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:28,880 it has greater authorities so for 1889 01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:30,399 example we have defensive cyber 1890 01:08:30,399 --> 01:08:31,679 authorities who have offensive 1891 01:08:31,679 --> 01:08:33,679 cyber authorities and that provides a 1892 01:08:33,679 --> 01:08:35,520 lot of deterrence and we work together 1893 01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:37,439 with allied nations already 1894 01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:42,000 in calling out nefarious cyber 1895 01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:45,120 attacks but one thing is 1896 01:08:45,120 --> 01:08:48,158 absolutely certain here moving forward 1897 01:08:48,158 --> 01:08:50,880 how do we prevent the problem that we're 1898 01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:52,799 talking about right now 1899 01:08:52,799 --> 01:08:55,679 which is we should be investing now in 1900 01:08:55,679 --> 01:08:57,600 6e technology 1901 01:08:57,600 --> 01:08:59,920 and so rather than being in a position 1902 01:08:59,920 --> 01:09:02,399 where we're talking about 1903 01:09:02,399 --> 01:09:04,719 with 5g technology and how do we get 1904 01:09:04,719 --> 01:09:06,399 here and and and an 1905 01:09:06,399 --> 01:09:09,198 other nation has uh type of equipment 1906 01:09:09,198 --> 01:09:09,839 and coercive 1907 01:09:09,839 --> 01:09:11,839 uh authorities and what they're doing in 1908 01:09:11,839 --> 01:09:13,120 our nations could be 1909 01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:15,920 uh extremely disrupted to our nation's 1910 01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:16,960 moving to the future 1911 01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:18,719 we need to start investing in the 6g 1912 01:09:18,719 --> 01:09:21,040 technology now so that we're not put in 1913 01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:22,319 these type of situation 1914 01:09:22,319 --> 01:09:24,960 and that is absolutely uh uh critical 1915 01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:25,600 here 1916 01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:27,839 what that also demonstrates to us is 1917 01:09:27,839 --> 01:09:29,279 that we will not allow 1918 01:09:29,279 --> 01:09:34,080 nations uh to be able to take hold uh 1919 01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:37,198 and and use leverage over smaller 1920 01:09:37,198 --> 01:09:40,399 nations as well so moving forward we 1921 01:09:40,399 --> 01:09:43,679 we need to be able to work together u.s 1922 01:09:43,679 --> 01:09:45,679 ex what's happened in the u.s should be 1923 01:09:45,679 --> 01:09:47,759 an example for the rest of the world 1924 01:09:47,759 --> 01:09:50,479 on what we need to uh prevent and take 1925 01:09:50,479 --> 01:09:51,520 those concerns 1926 01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:56,239 very seriously oh two two questions um 1927 01:09:56,239 --> 01:09:59,280 is canada already working on 6g and how 1928 01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:01,360 fast would my phone go if that 1929 01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:04,719 existed and and when you say what 1930 01:10:04,719 --> 01:10:05,679 happened in the u.s 1931 01:10:05,679 --> 01:10:07,440 doesn't happen again which aspect of 1932 01:10:07,440 --> 01:10:10,480 what happened in the u.s 1933 01:10:10,480 --> 01:10:13,360 i would say when it came when it comes 1934 01:10:13,360 --> 01:10:15,360 to 5g technology 1935 01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:19,199 they too have uh uh making a decision to 1936 01:10:19,199 --> 01:10:21,600 say that we don't want a certain company 1937 01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:23,360 doesn't make you safe you have to take a 1938 01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:25,199 look at what infrastructure decision has 1939 01:10:25,199 --> 01:10:26,480 already been made 1940 01:10:26,480 --> 01:10:29,280 and and so for example certain systems 1941 01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:30,640 need to be potentially ripped out to 1942 01:10:30,640 --> 01:10:31,920 making sure that systems 1943 01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:34,560 are safe but also at the same time this 1944 01:10:34,560 --> 01:10:36,560 is not just about one nation or one 1945 01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:37,280 company 1946 01:10:37,280 --> 01:10:40,400 this is about making sure that any time 1947 01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:44,159 you put any technology into core 1948 01:10:44,159 --> 01:10:46,159 systems i'm talking about there's cyber 1949 01:10:46,159 --> 01:10:48,800 here that it's it's well protected 1950 01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:52,080 you can say that well we'll pick uh com 1951 01:10:52,080 --> 01:10:55,120 uh company x because company y uh is 1952 01:10:55,120 --> 01:10:57,120 part of a a different nation well 1953 01:10:57,120 --> 01:10:59,520 company x may not have the expertise 1954 01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:01,520 to be a cyber safe and could be easily 1955 01:11:01,520 --> 01:11:02,560 hacked 1956 01:11:02,560 --> 01:11:05,360 so we have to be very mindful of the 1957 01:11:05,360 --> 01:11:07,199 decisions that we make so 1958 01:11:07,199 --> 01:11:09,120 working together collaboratively it goes 1959 01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:10,800 back to their previous discussion that 1960 01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:11,760 we had on 1961 01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:14,880 sharing on innovation 1962 01:11:14,880 --> 01:11:16,880 with trusted partners is very important 1963 01:11:16,880 --> 01:11:18,239 one thing i can assure you in addition 1964 01:11:18,239 --> 01:11:20,000 to working as part of nato 1965 01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:22,159 canada works bilaterally with many 1966 01:11:22,159 --> 01:11:23,360 european nations 1967 01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:25,520 on security issues and developing these 1968 01:11:25,520 --> 01:11:26,960 things so when it comes to research 1969 01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:28,800 on 6g technology i don't even know what 1970 01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:30,400 66 technology will be 1971 01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:31,920 but let's put it this way we didn't know 1972 01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:33,760 what artificial intelligence 1973 01:11:33,760 --> 01:11:36,800 uh or machine learning was but 1974 01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:39,120 we invested in canada a long time ago in 1975 01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:41,360 this that has developed the algorithms 1976 01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:42,320 that led to 1977 01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:45,920 a lot of the great innovation but then 1978 01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:48,640 uh so the question that we really have 1979 01:11:48,640 --> 01:11:50,320 to ask ourselves where is technology 1980 01:11:50,320 --> 01:11:51,040 going 1981 01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:52,960 where do we need to go so that it's a 1982 01:11:52,960 --> 01:11:54,080 better meant for 1983 01:11:54,080 --> 01:11:56,719 our all our citizens better for trade 1984 01:11:56,719 --> 01:11:58,400 but at the same time 1985 01:11:58,400 --> 01:12:01,679 prevent and uh as as my colleagues had 1986 01:12:01,679 --> 01:12:02,560 stated earlier 1987 01:12:02,560 --> 01:12:04,560 we need to make sure that we as nations 1988 01:12:04,560 --> 01:12:05,840 come together and have the right 1989 01:12:05,840 --> 01:12:07,679 regulations in place 1990 01:12:07,679 --> 01:12:09,760 so that nations don't use it as 1991 01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:11,280 disruptive technologies 1992 01:12:11,280 --> 01:12:14,480 to use leverage over to other nations so 1993 01:12:14,480 --> 01:12:15,920 um you heard it here first 1994 01:12:15,920 --> 01:12:17,600 members of industry who are attending 1995 01:12:17,600 --> 01:12:19,280 globe sec one of the things nato is 1996 01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:19,760 going to want 1997 01:12:19,760 --> 01:12:22,800 in the future is 6g get on it 1998 01:12:22,800 --> 01:12:26,320 so um i'd like to get um go to a very 1999 01:12:26,320 --> 01:12:27,199 provocative 2000 01:12:27,199 --> 01:12:30,880 question um that has come in on the app 2001 01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:33,440 from someone who identifies themselves 2002 01:12:33,440 --> 01:12:34,840 only as 2003 01:12:34,840 --> 01:12:38,400 s what steps can nato take 2004 01:12:38,400 --> 01:12:42,159 if russia decides to annex belarus 2005 01:12:42,159 --> 01:12:45,360 and and my corollary to that is what do 2006 01:12:45,360 --> 01:12:46,880 you think 2007 01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:49,360 of the biden putin summit outcome was 2008 01:12:49,360 --> 01:12:51,600 this an unnecessary reward to putin or 2009 01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:53,199 will it serve to check 2010 01:12:53,199 --> 01:12:56,159 malign activity 2011 01:12:56,239 --> 01:13:00,799 so minister nadya okay 2012 01:13:03,120 --> 01:13:05,520 difficult to say if russia decides to 2013 01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:06,880 annex belarus 2014 01:13:06,880 --> 01:13:10,960 um i don't think nato should 2015 01:13:10,960 --> 01:13:16,560 you know object 2016 01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:18,159 um 2017 01:13:18,159 --> 01:13:21,199 in a similar way that uh it objected uh 2018 01:13:21,199 --> 01:13:24,000 when uh when russia uh announced uh 2019 01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:25,520 crimea 2020 01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:27,440 uh because you know the situation of 2021 01:13:27,440 --> 01:13:29,120 ukraine and belarus 2022 01:13:29,120 --> 01:13:31,679 vis-a-vis nato is completely different 2023 01:13:31,679 --> 01:13:32,159 uh 2024 01:13:32,159 --> 01:13:34,960 on one hand uh it is uh you know it is 2025 01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:35,679 if it is 2026 01:13:35,679 --> 01:13:39,600 illegal annexation uh obviously united 2027 01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:41,120 nations and other international 2028 01:13:41,120 --> 01:13:42,800 organizations including uh 2029 01:13:42,800 --> 01:13:46,480 including uh eu or nato should you know 2030 01:13:46,480 --> 01:13:48,480 communicate that this is illegal 2031 01:13:48,480 --> 01:13:49,679 annexation 2032 01:13:49,679 --> 01:13:52,400 but uh i don't expect uh and i don't see 2033 01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:53,600 any will of 2034 01:13:53,600 --> 01:13:56,960 belarus to to come closer to nato or 2035 01:13:56,960 --> 01:13:58,480 european union countries 2036 01:13:58,480 --> 01:14:00,719 on contrary it comes very close to 2037 01:14:00,719 --> 01:14:01,760 russia 2038 01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:05,520 especially in in recent months uh 2039 01:14:05,520 --> 01:14:07,520 and with a situation like hijacking the 2040 01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:09,440 plane you know 2041 01:14:09,440 --> 01:14:12,800 uh belarus is 2042 01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:14,960 eleven even it's very non-standard 2043 01:14:14,960 --> 01:14:17,440 position of somebody in between uh nato 2044 01:14:17,440 --> 01:14:19,040 or european union and russia 2045 01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:22,000 it comes closer to authoritarian uh 2046 01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:23,360 countries uh 2047 01:14:23,360 --> 01:14:26,719 and i don't i don't see any any uh 2048 01:14:26,719 --> 01:14:30,960 light in the end of tunnel uh 2049 01:14:31,440 --> 01:14:34,000 discussion between biden and putin was i 2050 01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:34,560 think 2051 01:14:34,560 --> 01:14:37,600 as expected no surprises 2052 01:14:37,600 --> 01:14:39,440 uh maybe i was a little bit surprised 2053 01:14:39,440 --> 01:14:42,159 this is my personal opinion that uh 2054 01:14:42,159 --> 01:14:44,239 president biden was uh 2055 01:14:44,239 --> 01:14:46,719 uh after this meeting during the press 2056 01:14:46,719 --> 01:14:48,719 conference a little 2057 01:14:48,719 --> 01:14:52,080 more tough uh than i expected him to be 2058 01:14:52,080 --> 01:14:55,199 uh which is uh good uh which was a good 2059 01:14:55,199 --> 01:14:56,960 signal uh for me 2060 01:14:56,960 --> 01:14:59,199 especially after for me surprising 2061 01:14:59,199 --> 01:15:00,080 decision of 2062 01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:03,199 biden's uh uh administration to to give 2063 01:15:03,199 --> 01:15:04,400 a green light on uh 2064 01:15:04,400 --> 01:15:08,480 nordstrom 2. um you know this was uh 2065 01:15:08,480 --> 01:15:12,320 for me it was uh uh rather surprising 2066 01:15:12,320 --> 01:15:14,560 even though uh some people said it was 2067 01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:16,480 that we should expect that uh because 2068 01:15:16,480 --> 01:15:17,840 you know the pressure from germany was 2069 01:15:17,840 --> 01:15:19,040 very high and 2070 01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:20,960 and president biden didn't want to uh 2071 01:15:20,960 --> 01:15:22,840 don't want to 2072 01:15:22,840 --> 01:15:25,520 um question their relationship with uh 2073 01:15:25,520 --> 01:15:27,520 with germany on this issue but 2074 01:15:27,520 --> 01:15:30,000 uh nevertheless for countries like 2075 01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:32,239 ukraine and countries like slovakia 2076 01:15:32,239 --> 01:15:36,480 uh this uh this north stream program is 2077 01:15:36,480 --> 01:15:39,839 our project this something 2078 01:15:40,640 --> 01:15:42,320 though if the green party wins in 2079 01:15:42,320 --> 01:15:44,239 germany they say they're going to pull 2080 01:15:44,239 --> 01:15:46,159 out of it even though they have to pay 2081 01:15:46,159 --> 01:15:48,320 cancelled contract costs so before the 2082 01:15:48,320 --> 01:15:50,000 election right let's see what they do 2083 01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:51,040 afterwards 2084 01:15:51,040 --> 01:15:56,000 um honestly saying 2085 01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:58,000 this meeting was important for the 2086 01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:00,159 strategic stability it was important 2087 01:16:00,159 --> 01:16:01,840 for the signals towards russia it was 2088 01:16:01,840 --> 01:16:03,840 important uh 2089 01:16:03,840 --> 01:16:05,760 and more meetings these two gentlemen 2090 01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:06,960 have better 2091 01:16:06,960 --> 01:16:09,520 uh on the other hand uh i think the only 2092 01:16:09,520 --> 01:16:10,239 thing that 2093 01:16:10,239 --> 01:16:12,800 putin is listening to is a strong word 2094 01:16:12,800 --> 01:16:13,920 and strong action 2095 01:16:13,920 --> 01:16:16,880 uh angela merkel knows that uh she was 2096 01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:17,840 able to 2097 01:16:17,840 --> 01:16:19,280 to show the way how to deal with 2098 01:16:19,280 --> 01:16:21,280 president putin uh previously and i 2099 01:16:21,280 --> 01:16:22,800 believe that uh 2100 01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:25,199 president biden uh with getting some 2101 01:16:25,199 --> 01:16:26,640 experience in his new 2102 01:16:26,640 --> 01:16:30,560 occupation uh he will follow this uh 2103 01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:34,400 i would say more strict uh 2104 01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:36,640 way of communication thank you and 2105 01:16:36,640 --> 01:16:37,840 action 2106 01:16:37,840 --> 01:16:41,199 minister sergeant if faced with um 2107 01:16:41,199 --> 01:16:45,280 the issue uh with belarus 2108 01:16:45,280 --> 01:16:49,840 what would you be urging 2109 01:16:50,719 --> 01:16:52,239 well first of all what's happening in 2110 01:16:52,239 --> 01:16:54,080 belarus is uh 2111 01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:56,719 we've been very clear with our allies on 2112 01:16:56,719 --> 01:16:57,760 this it's quite 2113 01:16:57,760 --> 01:17:00,560 unacceptable but at the end of the day 2114 01:17:00,560 --> 01:17:02,000 it comes down 2115 01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:04,960 to what is the will of the people of 2116 01:17:04,960 --> 01:17:06,400 belarus 2117 01:17:06,400 --> 01:17:09,600 um it's what they want to decide where 2118 01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:10,400 they want to go 2119 01:17:10,400 --> 01:17:14,080 if they choose to be closer to russia 2120 01:17:14,080 --> 01:17:18,320 it is their right to do so if they don't 2121 01:17:18,320 --> 01:17:21,760 um and there is greater aggression 2122 01:17:21,760 --> 01:17:25,600 it is up to us as uh nato allies to be 2123 01:17:25,600 --> 01:17:26,719 able to express that 2124 01:17:26,719 --> 01:17:30,800 as we uh have been 2125 01:17:30,800 --> 01:17:34,159 thank you um and 2126 01:17:34,159 --> 01:17:37,600 minister sakarinska from all the black 2127 01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:39,760 swan scenarios i don't think that 2128 01:17:39,760 --> 01:17:43,040 this is the the ones we should focus 2129 01:17:43,040 --> 01:17:46,400 because uh why annex 2130 01:17:46,400 --> 01:17:48,159 a country where you have such an 2131 01:17:48,159 --> 01:17:50,000 overwhelming influence 2132 01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:52,960 it's always uh much much smarter to keep 2133 01:17:52,960 --> 01:17:54,159 that extra voice 2134 01:17:54,159 --> 01:17:56,159 in the different in the different rooms 2135 01:17:56,159 --> 01:17:58,000 but it could be a communication 2136 01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:00,560 opportunity for nato if this is how you 2137 01:18:00,560 --> 01:18:01,520 treat 2138 01:18:01,520 --> 01:18:03,360 if this is how russia would treat their 2139 01:18:03,360 --> 01:18:05,120 allies 2140 01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:07,679 what would you expect in the future from 2141 01:18:07,679 --> 01:18:10,320 an alliance of that kind 2142 01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:11,840 nevertheless i think that we should look 2143 01:18:11,840 --> 01:18:13,600 at the the broader picture 2144 01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:17,199 uh when analyzing russian moves uh uh i 2145 01:18:17,199 --> 01:18:19,280 i think that you will see a lot of 2146 01:18:19,280 --> 01:18:20,640 rationality 2147 01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:22,880 if there is one thing one sentence that 2148 01:18:22,880 --> 01:18:23,840 i have still 2149 01:18:23,840 --> 01:18:26,000 remembered from my history lessons many 2150 01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:27,760 too many years ago 2151 01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:30,239 it's an old uh statement by i think 2152 01:18:30,239 --> 01:18:31,280 ulysses grant 2153 01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:33,520 but don't quote me if i have made the 2154 01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:35,199 mistake war 2155 01:18:35,199 --> 01:18:38,080 is progressive which means that just as 2156 01:18:38,080 --> 01:18:39,440 you think that you have 2157 01:18:39,440 --> 01:18:41,280 learned your lessons from the previous 2158 01:18:41,280 --> 01:18:43,520 world from the previous conflict 2159 01:18:43,520 --> 01:18:45,199 you believe that you can replicate them 2160 01:18:45,199 --> 01:18:46,560 that's utterly wrong 2161 01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:50,159 because any opponent that is weaker 2162 01:18:50,159 --> 01:18:52,640 in your domain will quickly shift to the 2163 01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:53,440 other domain 2164 01:18:53,440 --> 01:18:55,760 and this is what russia is doing you 2165 01:18:55,760 --> 01:18:56,960 know when you when you see the 2166 01:18:56,960 --> 01:18:57,840 overwhelming 2167 01:18:57,840 --> 01:19:00,239 military power of of nato in many 2168 01:19:00,239 --> 01:19:01,280 domains 2169 01:19:01,280 --> 01:19:02,719 uh then they start doing this 2170 01:19:02,719 --> 01:19:04,640 information and fake news and cyber 2171 01:19:04,640 --> 01:19:05,360 attacks and 2172 01:19:05,360 --> 01:19:08,480 it's cheaper it's quicker and 2173 01:19:08,480 --> 01:19:10,880 it causes more damage than actually the 2174 01:19:10,880 --> 01:19:12,400 the typical military move 2175 01:19:12,400 --> 01:19:14,880 and we have in the balkans i i have seen 2176 01:19:14,880 --> 01:19:15,440 uh at the 2177 01:19:15,440 --> 01:19:17,600 at the first poll we did i see the i saw 2178 01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:18,719 a lot of balkan 2179 01:19:18,719 --> 01:19:21,679 uh references they they were small but 2180 01:19:21,679 --> 01:19:23,040 if you take all of them together 2181 01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:24,400 actually they were meaningful 2182 01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:26,320 i think that we have seen these kinds of 2183 01:19:26,320 --> 01:19:28,400 moves throughout the balkans 2184 01:19:28,400 --> 01:19:31,040 very visibly and maybe uh when 2185 01:19:31,040 --> 01:19:33,040 mentioning what has happened to the us 2186 01:19:33,040 --> 01:19:36,800 years ago some of the trailers for this 2187 01:19:36,800 --> 01:19:38,719 were visible in the balkans and maybe 2188 01:19:38,719 --> 01:19:40,480 these small countries can sometimes be a 2189 01:19:40,480 --> 01:19:40,960 good 2190 01:19:40,960 --> 01:19:44,480 learning ground for the old established 2191 01:19:44,480 --> 01:19:45,520 democracy what 2192 01:19:45,520 --> 01:19:48,080 might happen if something goes wrong uh 2193 01:19:48,080 --> 01:19:50,159 what we have seen throughout the balkans 2194 01:19:50,159 --> 01:19:54,400 is a a a russian scenario in which they 2195 01:19:54,400 --> 01:19:54,800 don't 2196 01:19:54,800 --> 01:19:56,800 offer anything they just play on the 2197 01:19:56,800 --> 01:19:58,880 weaknesses of the west 2198 01:19:58,880 --> 01:20:02,000 uh when we first expressed our desire to 2199 01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:04,080 move forward with nato after being 2200 01:20:04,080 --> 01:20:05,199 elected 2201 01:20:05,199 --> 01:20:06,639 for the first time in our history there 2202 01:20:06,639 --> 01:20:09,280 was a strong message against it coming 2203 01:20:09,280 --> 01:20:11,199 from moscow we were surprised 2204 01:20:11,199 --> 01:20:13,440 we never actually had any communication 2205 01:20:13,440 --> 01:20:14,239 with moscow 2206 01:20:14,239 --> 01:20:17,840 public or or diplomatic on this uh 2207 01:20:17,840 --> 01:20:20,400 they have really been very firm on 2208 01:20:20,400 --> 01:20:22,320 saying that they will oppose our nato 2209 01:20:22,320 --> 01:20:23,440 membership in 2210 01:20:23,440 --> 01:20:26,480 various ways and what we have seen is 2211 01:20:26,480 --> 01:20:28,719 that they have tried to undermine the 2212 01:20:28,719 --> 01:20:29,679 agreement our 2213 01:20:29,679 --> 01:20:32,400 agreement with greece everywhere they 2214 01:20:32,400 --> 01:20:33,360 could 2215 01:20:33,360 --> 01:20:36,159 greece had to expel several diplomats 2216 01:20:36,159 --> 01:20:36,880 because 2217 01:20:36,880 --> 01:20:39,600 of their uh influence within the greek 2218 01:20:39,600 --> 01:20:40,880 society 2219 01:20:40,880 --> 01:20:43,199 we have seen less intervention within 2220 01:20:43,199 --> 01:20:45,120 the macedonian society but still it was 2221 01:20:45,120 --> 01:20:46,000 visible 2222 01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:48,719 when we finally became a nato member and 2223 01:20:48,719 --> 01:20:49,600 this was 2224 01:20:49,600 --> 01:20:52,480 a war that they have lost they didn't 2225 01:20:52,480 --> 01:20:53,040 waste 2226 01:20:53,040 --> 01:20:55,280 time they switched immediately to the 2227 01:20:55,280 --> 01:20:56,880 other goal eu 2228 01:20:56,880 --> 01:21:00,480 undermining uh eu accession and sending 2229 01:21:00,480 --> 01:21:01,760 this very strong 2230 01:21:01,760 --> 01:21:03,920 message throughout the balkans and this 2231 01:21:03,920 --> 01:21:06,480 is that the west cannot be trusted 2232 01:21:06,480 --> 01:21:09,040 you know nato eu they're very different 2233 01:21:09,040 --> 01:21:11,199 but you know when you attack them 2234 01:21:11,199 --> 01:21:13,920 you attack them to to the roots and this 2235 01:21:13,920 --> 01:21:16,400 is what they have been successful i see 2236 01:21:16,400 --> 01:21:18,880 many echoes in belgrade pristina 2237 01:21:18,880 --> 01:21:19,920 sarajevo 2238 01:21:19,920 --> 01:21:22,639 uh even podgorica from time to time look 2239 01:21:22,639 --> 01:21:24,159 at north macedonia 2240 01:21:24,159 --> 01:21:26,480 they have done incredible reforms they 2241 01:21:26,480 --> 01:21:28,159 have come to an agreement with greece 2242 01:21:28,159 --> 01:21:30,400 after three decades of disputes 2243 01:21:30,400 --> 01:21:33,360 uh they have entered nato but look at 2244 01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:34,639 the eu they're not 2245 01:21:34,639 --> 01:21:36,320 they're not delivering on what was 2246 01:21:36,320 --> 01:21:38,560 promised so why would belgrade and 2247 01:21:38,560 --> 01:21:40,960 pristina be so focused on getting an 2248 01:21:40,960 --> 01:21:42,400 agreement while 2249 01:21:42,400 --> 01:21:45,280 there is no reliability and this has 2250 01:21:45,280 --> 01:21:46,000 been 2251 01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:48,960 really a message that was sent not only 2252 01:21:48,960 --> 01:21:50,960 from moscow directly but especially 2253 01:21:50,960 --> 01:21:51,600 through 2254 01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:54,320 social media and the networks that have 2255 01:21:54,320 --> 01:21:56,480 been leaning towards towards moscow 2256 01:21:56,480 --> 01:21:59,679 and unlike the geopolitical game 2257 01:21:59,679 --> 01:22:01,520 the visible geopolitical game that they 2258 01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:03,679 have played which was unsuccessful 2259 01:22:03,679 --> 01:22:05,600 this is actually where they're winning 2260 01:22:05,600 --> 01:22:08,719 so allowing vacuum 2261 01:22:08,719 --> 01:22:12,159 is opening the gates to a new type of uh 2262 01:22:12,159 --> 01:22:14,560 warfare which is easier than the 2263 01:22:14,560 --> 01:22:16,320 traditional one for which we have spent 2264 01:22:16,320 --> 01:22:17,600 a lot of money and 2265 01:22:17,600 --> 01:22:19,920 a lot of years of preparation thank you 2266 01:22:19,920 --> 01:22:21,199 well it sounds like 2267 01:22:21,199 --> 01:22:24,320 the best way to deter moscow is for nato 2268 01:22:24,320 --> 01:22:28,080 to keep its word and do it as quickly as 2269 01:22:28,080 --> 01:22:29,199 possible 2270 01:22:29,199 --> 01:22:31,600 well this is this was the message uh 2271 01:22:31,600 --> 01:22:33,600 that echoed throughout the balkans uh 2272 01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:35,679 nato has kept its word 2273 01:22:35,679 --> 01:22:39,440 uh when it comes to accession uh i i'm 2274 01:22:39,440 --> 01:22:41,840 really uh satisfied that nato has kept 2275 01:22:41,840 --> 01:22:42,560 its word 2276 01:22:42,560 --> 01:22:45,120 on reiterating the open door policy even 2277 01:22:45,120 --> 01:22:46,719 at at this summit 2278 01:22:46,719 -->

come to an 2309 01:23:54,960 --> 01:23:57,600 end as does globes act 2021 2310 01:23:57,600 --> 01:24:00,960 sadly sadly indeed but i know we've had 2311 01:24:00,960 --> 01:24:02,960 an opportunity to have conversations 2312 01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:04,719 we've been able to interact in person 2313 01:24:04,719 --> 01:24:06,480 and as well as virtually so thank you to 2314 01:24:06,480 -->

01:24:13,520 virtually i think one of the big 2318 01:24:13,520 --> 01:24:14,719 takeaways for us 2319 01:24:14,719 --> 01:24:17,120 as it is every year is the highlighting 2320 01:24:17,120 --> 01:24:19,440 point that central europe is 2321 01:24:19,440 --> 01:24:21,920 very very key as we redevelop these 2322 01:24:21,920 --> 01:24:23,360 cross atlantic and 2323 01:24:23,360 --> 01:24:25,280 ties as we go forward exactly there's 2324 01:24:25,280 --> 01:24:27,679 been a big emphasis on reinvigorating 2325 01:24:27,679 --> 01:24:29,760 the transatlantic relationship that has 2326 01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:31,760 partly to do of course with joe biden 2327 01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:32,639 making his first 2328 01:24:32,639 --> 01:24:35,520 visit to europe as the u.s vice 2329 01:24:35,520 --> 01:24:36,400 president but 2330 01:24:36,400 --> 01:24:38,560 there's also a recognition of the at 2331 01:24:38,560 --> 01:24:40,080 this conference at least of the 2332 01:24:40,080 --> 01:24:42,400 importance of central europe as a 2333 01:24:42,400 --> 01:24:43,280 partner 2334 01:24:43,280 --> 01:24:45,840 in that relationship and on that subject 2335 01:24:45,840 --> 01:24:46,960 i just want to point out 2336 01:24:46,960 --> 01:24:48,639 something that one speaker said which i 2337 01:24:48,639 --> 01:24:49,920 thought was very relevant for our 2338 01:24:49,920 --> 01:24:51,280 discussions that we've had here over the 2339 01:24:51,280 --> 01:24:52,000 past 2340 01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:54,719 few days he said on that subject that 2341 01:24:54,719 --> 01:24:56,080 it's not about the us 2342 01:24:56,080 --> 01:24:58,800 doing something in central europe but 2343 01:24:58,800 --> 01:24:59,520 rather 2344 01:24:59,520 --> 01:25:02,480 with central europe and with europe as a 2345 01:25:02,480 --> 01:25:03,199 whole 2346 01:25:03,199 --> 01:25:04,880 and i think that's highlighted across 2347 01:25:04,880 --> 01:25:06,639 the board when you see the range of 2348 01:25:06,639 --> 01:25:08,880 voices that we've heard from we've heard 2349 01:25:08,880 --> 01:25:11,520 today for example from the ministers of 2350 01:25:11,520 --> 01:25:12,080 defense 2351 01:25:12,080 --> 01:25:14,719 from canada slovakia north macedonia 2352 01:25:14,719 --> 01:25:16,400 even the deputy defense minister of 2353 01:25:16,400 --> 01:25:17,280 japan 2354 01:25:17,280 --> 01:25:19,760 we've had uh corporate voices here as 2355 01:25:19,760 --> 01:25:21,679 well we've had eriksen represented we've 2356 01:25:21,679 --> 01:25:23,920 had the ceo of eset as well 2357 01:25:23,920 --> 01:25:26,400 lots more voices and lots more sectors 2358 01:25:26,400 --> 01:25:28,080 international institutions very well 2359 01:25:28,080 --> 01:25:29,440 represented here of course from the 2360 01:25:29,440 --> 01:25:30,400 european union 2361 01:25:30,400 --> 01:25:32,880 we uh we had the vice president of the 2362 01:25:32,880 --> 01:25:34,080 european union a couple of vice 2363 01:25:34,080 --> 01:25:35,440 presidents over the past couple of days 2364 01:25:35,440 --> 01:25:36,960 who also had the deputy secretary 2365 01:25:36,960 --> 01:25:37,840 general 2366 01:25:37,840 --> 01:25:40,719 of nato uh with us today offering his 2367 01:25:40,719 --> 01:25:41,920 wisdom and insights 2368 01:25:41,920 --> 01:25:45,280 we had seminal thinkers too um i mean 2369 01:25:45,280 --> 01:25:46,800 everyone here of course is a thinker in 2370 01:25:46,800 --> 01:25:48,480 one way or another but we had some 2371 01:25:48,480 --> 01:25:49,920 people who really shaped our 2372 01:25:49,920 --> 01:25:52,560 understanding of democracy of liberal 2373 01:25:52,560 --> 01:25:53,600 democracy 2374 01:25:53,600 --> 01:25:55,440 uh over the past couple of years uh just 2375 01:25:55,440 --> 01:25:57,600 want to highlight ivan krastep 2376 01:25:57,600 --> 01:26:00,880 who uh who of course is uh the the uh 2377 01:26:00,880 --> 01:26:02,800 the light that faded i think is the 2378 01:26:02,800 --> 01:26:04,320 title of his book which was so 2379 01:26:04,320 --> 01:26:06,800 impactful neelam dio and tori tausig 2380 01:26:06,800 --> 01:26:08,239 just among others 2381 01:26:08,239 --> 01:26:09,760 and i think it was really interesting to 2382 01:26:09,760 --> 01:26:11,920 have a conversation with leonard 2383 01:26:11,920 --> 01:26:14,639
