CHRISTOPHER LUXON, PRIME MINISTER OF NEW ZEALAND: Ngā mihi nui, kia koutou, we welcome you again, Prime Minister Albanese, and to all the delegation that's with us as well. We just are so grateful that you've come. Thank you for spending this time with us. And welcome to Queenstown, which is, of course, a place that a lot of Australians come to get a true winter experience in, and a lot of New Zealanders leave to go get a true sandy beach experience in Australia to get away from the winter. But look, we just want to say, thank you so much. It's great that you're here. Look, in a world, as I said earlier, and it's increasingly fractious and uncertain, there's nothing more certain than the bedrock of the relationship that we have between our two great countries. It's been built up over a long period of time. We have very strong trade and economic linkages. We have incredible defence and security ties, and most importantly, we have amazing people-to-people links, and that's really what it's all about. So, we just want to say welcome, and we're looking forward to our conversations together today. We've got a bit to cover, but it's great to have you here. Great to have Jodie here with us as well. So, thank you, mate, for being here. Appreciate it.
ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Well, thanks very much, Prime Minister. And it is indeed an absolute pleasure to be here in beautiful Queenstown. And we are really humbled by the honour we've been given of having the first meeting ever held here in this extraordinary facility that you have here. We are neighbours, we're friends, and we're members of the Pacific family. And as you say, we do live very much in uncertain times. There is much that we have to discuss. We have increasingly strong defence ties, as well, we'll discuss the seamless economic activity that we have and the work that we've done in having travel between our two countries be so seamless. It is very positive for both of us. Our single economic market really is an example for the world in how our free and fair trade and the economic engagement benefits everyone who's a party to it, and at a time when free and fair trade is being questioned, I think it's really important that we emphasize the opportunity that's there as well for both of our nations being located as we are. Just to our north is the fastest growing region of the world in human history, and that represents opportunity. The cooperation, as well, in climate change. But additionally, when it comes to international issues, you and I have issued a number of statements. I know that our foreign ministers have issued another joint statement, along with other nations today about Gaza. We continue to think the same as democratic nations. And I look forward to today's discussion. I look forward as well to the informal engagement between us. And thank you for hosting this year's Annual Leaders' Meeting.
