00:01.090 --> 00:04.379
(band playing "The Star-Spangled Banner")

00:04.379 --> 00:05.700
- Which was an opportunity
for both Thailand,

00:05.700 --> 00:10.000
the United States, to really
celebrate the 39th iteration

00:10.000 --> 00:12.350
of Cobra Gold, and we've
learned a lot through the years

00:12.350 --> 00:15.560
working together with all
of our partners and allies.

00:15.560 --> 00:18.255
And here is another example
of us coming together,

00:18.255 --> 00:23.255
being part of a multi-lateral,
multi-national effort

00:24.380 --> 00:26.460
to build inter-operability.

00:26.460 --> 00:29.934
This is about trust, this
is about coming together,

00:29.934 --> 00:32.540
getting to know each other better,

00:32.540 --> 00:34.750
getting to understand
how we would operate,

00:34.750 --> 00:37.660
so that we can then be inter-operable

00:37.660 --> 00:40.180
and ultimately build trust.

00:40.180 --> 00:43.970
We are aiming to maintain a
free and open Endo-Pacific,

00:43.970 --> 00:47.490
and so our relationship is strong,

00:47.490 --> 00:50.860
it continues to get stronger,

00:50.860 --> 00:54.233
and we use that foundation to
bring in the rest of the team.
