00:13.729 --> 00:15.729
The objective of the maritime staff

00:15.729 --> 00:18.139
talks is to bring the Navy , Marine

00:18.139 --> 00:20.780
Corps , Coast Guard , Special Forces

00:21.399 --> 00:24.600
team together along with the Navy of

00:24.600 --> 00:27.600
Peru to improve our future cooperation

00:27.600 --> 00:30.000
to get after shared maritime security

00:30.000 --> 00:33.310
challenges . And the strategic

00:33.310 --> 00:35.869
imperatives of US Southern Command are

00:35.869 --> 00:38.549
all blended with the goals and

00:38.549 --> 00:40.771
objectives that the Peruvians have . We

00:40.771 --> 00:42.660
can ensure that we share the same

00:42.660 --> 00:44.771
end-state , that we're moving towards

00:44.771 --> 00:46.771
the same objectives together as two

00:46.771 --> 00:48.938
very close partners in the form of the

00:48.938 --> 00:50.327
United States and Peru .

00:53.470 --> 00:55.526
In particular , we want to ensure we

00:55.526 --> 00:58.180
are combating illicit activities and

00:58.709 --> 01:00.931
transnational criminal organizations as

01:00.931 --> 01:03.110
well as increasing our information

01:03.110 --> 01:05.889
sharing and looking for opportunities

01:05.889 --> 01:08.111
to enhance our interoperability so that

01:08.111 --> 01:10.111
way when there are crises that come

01:10.111 --> 01:12.278
about that we're both ready to operate

01:12.278 --> 01:14.556
with each other and support each other .

01:19.000 --> 01:21.940
Peru will be hosting UNIAS this year

01:22.199 --> 01:24.720
and it's an important opportunity for

01:24.720 --> 01:27.620
the Peruvian Navy . The maritime staff

01:27.620 --> 01:30.660
talks help prepare for future exercises

01:30.660 --> 01:33.500
like UNIA by providing a forum to

01:33.500 --> 01:36.419
coordinate planning details , train our

01:36.419 --> 01:38.779
personnel , and ensure that all

01:38.779 --> 01:41.419
participants work together with a

01:41.419 --> 01:42.300
common goal .

01:45.389 --> 01:47.589
We look forward to spreading our

01:47.589 --> 01:49.010
friendship in the years ahead .
