00:00.680 --> 00:03.160
Welcome to the African Maritime Forces

00:03.160 --> 00:06.599
Summit in 2025 . Our efforts in the

00:06.599 --> 00:09.439
past summits are increasing illegal

00:09.439 --> 00:11.689
activity and illis and the sea .

00:13.600 --> 00:15.878
So in facing these mounting challenges ,

00:15.880 --> 00:19.389
how do we move forward ? First ,

00:19.600 --> 00:21.433
we continue to build on our past

00:21.433 --> 00:24.170
efforts . Second , we become more

00:24.170 --> 00:27.610
interoperable . Third , we grow trust

00:27.610 --> 00:30.889
in one another . At this summit , let

00:30.889 --> 00:33.729
us continue our past efforts . The

00:33.729 --> 00:36.169
answers to the challenges we face lie

00:36.169 --> 00:38.319
not in focusing on our differences ,

00:38.450 --> 00:40.650
but rather our shared interests ,

00:40.689 --> 00:42.880
working together across agencies ,

00:43.169 --> 00:44.689
services , and forces .
