 Hi, everyone. My name is Carlos Del Toro. I'm the 78th Secretary of the Navy, and I'm so proud to be here in Newport, Rhode Island, where the Chief of Naval Operations is hosting the 24th International Sea Power Symposium. We are gathering here in Newport with heads of navies from across the globe to discuss common challenges and problems that we face together to try to come up with solutions that make sense for both our nations and our navies as well, too. And so it's going to be a very exciting week. I'm proud to be part of this process. We have heads of navies here from Africa, from South America, from Central America, from Europe, from the Indo-Pacific, and we're looking at issues that address our navies across the globe. It's wonderful to be here with them and their spouses to better understand their challenges and get to better know them as individuals as well so that we can collectively work together as a global partnership of navies across the world.
