: Well, Prime Minister, it was great to catch up informally last night, and good to have our first formal meeting this morning. We know each other quite well, through both meetings and the phone hook-ups etc, that we’ve had over the years. But I congratulate you very much on behalf of Australia for your election. I look forward to very much working with you. We share common values. And the work that we can do together in the international rule of law, in upholding international human rights, the work that we’ve done with common interests. Our Australian defence personnel helping to train Ukrainians in the UK with the struggle against Russia’s illegal invasion. The work we’re doing at AUKUS. And importantly, here in the Pacific as well, there, of course, will be a focus on climate change, where both of us recognise that it is a challenge, but also an enormous opportunity. And today, the work that we’ll do on the clean energy transition, working with the private sector, seeing this as an opportunity as well for industrial transformation and making sure that people aren’t left behind as we transition to net zero is something that we can work very closely on.
KEIR STARMER, PRIME MINISTER OF THE UNITED KINGDOM: Well, it’s really good to have this bilateral here. We obviously caught up yesterday in any event. And look, we’ve got a good, strong, shared history together. Our nations have always been close. Close ties economically, which has been fantastic, and increasingly when it comes to issues like defence. But our values are aligned as well, particularly as you see when it comes to the challenges out there, the environmental challenge, the climate challenge, which is a challenge and an opportunity, as you rightly say. We share an approach when it comes to conflicts like Ukraine and the Middle East. And we’ve got great people-to-people contact, which has been going on for a very long time, and long may that continue. So, lots in our intro to talk through. But really good to sit down with you again and have those discussions. So thank you.
