Strong history , strong today , and

00:03.880 --> 00:05.158

00:07.519 --> 00:10.979
The United States Navy and the Brazil

00:10.979 --> 00:13.380
Navy have a long-standing relationship

00:13.380 --> 00:15.547
back to when diplomatic relations were

00:15.547 --> 00:18.780
established 202 years ago . Fourth

00:18.780 --> 00:20.891
Fleet actually got its start in World

00:20.891 --> 00:22.860
War II in Recife , Brazil and was

00:22.860 --> 00:25.239
hosted there by the Brazil Navy and

00:25.370 --> 00:27.148
defense of convoys crossing the

00:27.148 --> 00:29.259
Atlantic . To this day we continue to

00:29.259 --> 00:32.740
cooperate on all things maritime and

00:32.740 --> 00:35.459
security . These maritime step talks

00:35.459 --> 00:37.570
are strengthening this relationship .

00:37.700 --> 00:40.700
We established common objectives to

00:40.700 --> 00:43.740
achieve through 3 lines of efforts and

00:43.740 --> 00:46.779
very significant milestones in the way

00:46.779 --> 00:50.560
of those LOEs . We are very excited

00:50.560 --> 00:53.180
with the results that we will achieve .

00:53.419 --> 00:56.799
In the upcoming 5 years we're working

00:56.799 --> 00:58.900
to see where we have overlapping

00:58.900 --> 01:01.040
interests in the maritime security

01:01.040 --> 01:03.373
environment in order to increase safety ,

01:03.529 --> 01:06.019
security , economic prosperity , and

01:06.019 --> 01:08.352
continue to fight narcotics trafficking ,

01:08.459 --> 01:10.660
human trafficking , illegal activities

01:10.660 --> 01:12.604
that are pervasive in the maritime

01:12.604 --> 01:15.959
environment . We have identified a

01:15.959 --> 01:17.879
clear path forward to countering

01:17.879 --> 01:20.040
illicit activities in the region ,

01:20.190 --> 01:22.301
improving information sharing between

01:22.301 --> 01:24.246
our two countries , and increasing

01:24.246 --> 01:26.134
interoperability through combined

01:26.134 --> 01:28.540
exercises , operations , and other

01:28.540 --> 01:29.069
