 To take the proceedings further, I hand over to the contradiction command, the spotty opening remarks. I'm sure that through the course of this exercise, we will engage in bigger training, exchange environmental expertise, and through our collective efforts and shared determination of colors fully with you all this year. I hope we foster meaningful bonds of friendship. This year, we have combined 3,000 military service members from India and the United States participating in this exercise, enhance readiness, and build lasting friendships. And together, let us forge a path towards a safer, more secure world. The question was asked, is this a message sent to others? Of course, there's always a message sent to the world that we are two great democracies that stand for the rule of law and a free, open, prosperous Indo-Pacific. But this is really about us. This is about India and the U.S. and a bilateral relationship first and foremost, and other nations can take what they will from it, but we're not here together because of any other nation. We're here because of our friendship together.
