[HOST] Good morning everyone, and a warm welcome from The Hague.
The NATO Public Forum brings together voices from government,
civil society, industry, media and youth.
[RUTTE] We are living in much more dangerous times...
and we have to make sure that we defend...
our beautiful way of life and systems and our values.
[ADM. VANDIER] Multi-domain operations is not only linking...
the five domains land, air, maritime, space and cyber.
If we want to be resilient, we need to think as a whole society.
It's why you have 1.5% which is dedicated to a global approach.
*Unintelligible*
[TSAHKNA] Digitalisation is not actually a threat.
It gives a lot more opportunities to run your own societies,
even if you are under heavy attacks.
[WHITAKER] The innovation, the defence manufacturing base,
all of those things working together,
we are going to have a strong alliance.
And most importantly, that strength...
is what's going to deliver peace for generations to come.
*Unintelligible* *Music plays*
[RUTTE] We have to make sure that whatever the long term ceasefire...
or the peace deal in Ukraine will be,
that it is lasting, that it is durable.
[HEALY] The one thing that is important to me...
is that we don't jeopardise that peace by forgetting about the war.
The number one priority is to stand with and support...
and strengthen Ukraine in the fight.
*Music ends and fades out*
