*Inspring music plays*
*Music crescendoes*
A historic day for our collective security...
and a historic day for our defense industry.
We really want to underline and convince others...
to stand together in this diplomatic struggle.
*Applause*
this is a proud moment for the Netherlands...
as a founding member of NATO.
We really need to build a bridge...
between what’s discussed here...
and what people in their home countries experience from day to day.
Well, what is the most important? It is peace.
These are decisions about war, about peace, about money.
We will take historic, transformational decisions...
to make our people safer through a stronger, fairer and more lethal NATO.
*Music intensifies*
*Intense music crescendoes*
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.
