00:00.670 --> 00:02.392
Welcome back to the Pentagon .

00:04.980 --> 00:07.510
Our allies and partners magnify our

00:07.510 --> 00:10.779
strength . They project our power and

00:10.779 --> 00:14.750
they deepen our security . So here is

00:14.750 --> 00:18.590
the stark military fact . Our allies

00:18.590 --> 00:21.590
and partners are huge force multipliers .

00:23.739 --> 00:26.969
In today's world , any policy of peace

00:26.969 --> 00:30.139
through strength . Depends by

00:30.139 --> 00:31.780
definition on alliances .

00:34.709 --> 00:36.599
American power projection .

00:38.430 --> 00:40.939
Depends by definition .

00:42.240 --> 00:45.889
On our friends abroad . Our

00:45.889 --> 00:48.056
alliances and partnerships have always

00:48.056 --> 00:51.669
been rooted in shared interest and in

00:51.669 --> 00:52.509
shared value .

01:02.250 --> 01:06.019
Now serving as secretary . has

01:06.019 --> 01:08.459
only strengthened my belief in the

01:08.459 --> 01:09.737
power of partnership .

01:12.080 --> 01:14.309
American leadership rallies our allies

01:14.309 --> 01:18.110
and partners to uphold our shared . And

01:18.110 --> 01:20.459
it inspires ordinary people around the

01:20.459 --> 01:22.589
world to work together toward a

01:22.589 --> 01:23.150
brighter future .
