Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, folks, for being here. I hope you had a great new year and got a bit of a break and time to spend with family members.
I'm interested in what has happened in the global landscape and the global environment since we launched our Indo-Pacific strategy. We have the war in Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East. There's obviously going to be—justifiably so—a shift in the international community's focus.
How has the recent launch of the strategy impacted the important work you're doing? Also, how has that impacted relationships with our partners in the Indo-Pacific?
