Speaker 6
Good morning ladies and gentlemen. Good morning everyone. May I now kindly ask you to be seated, we would like to begin with our committee meeting. At the beginning, let me say that we are always delighted to have visitors attending our committee meeting, and today I have the honor and pleasure welcoming a women visitors group from beautiful Split Croatia. Dobro jutro, dobrodošli, ladies, and enjoy our committee meeting.
So, item number 5, this is the first vote today. It is on the draft report on the strategic political relations with Australia, for which Željana Zovko is the rapporteur. Dear Željana, would you like to take the floor then the time is now.

Speaker 1
Yes, chair, thank you very much. And dear colleagues, I know it's early in the morning, but also thank you for saying welcome to my dear friends from Split, where I live. And before we vote, I would like to thank the shadow rapporteurs and all political groups for their constructive cooperation and contribution to this report. We are entering a very important phase in our relations with Australia. Cooperation on critical raw material is central to building secure, diversified and resilient supply chains for our green and digital transitions.
The security and defense partnership, the free trade agreement and Australia's association with Horizon Europe open new opportunities to bring our partnership closer and deliver concrete benefits for our citizens. Australia is natural ally and the key democratic partner in the Indo-Pacific. Europe's security and prosperity are increasingly connected to development in the Indo-Pacific, just as Australia has demonstrated through its steadfast support for Ukraine that European security matters to it. This report sets out priorities for the next stage: stronger cooperation on security and defense, more resilient supply chain, closer ties in research and innovation and deeper parliamentary dialogue. Our task now is to translate this momentum into lasting cooperation backed by regular political engagement and tangible results.
