I brought you a little gift, which is an archaeological artifact from the foot of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, which has the word Joseph, Yosef.
|
|
And as you know, in the Bible, it is said that Joseph will strengthen Israel.
|
|
And clearly, Mr. President, you've done it.
|
|
Thank you very much.
|
|
Well, I hope my father heard it.
|
|
My father was what we call a righteous Christian.
|
|
He couldn't understand why we didn't move more rapidly back in World War II than less.
|
|
And anyway.
|
|
That was a great legacy of your father.
|
|
Well, it was.
|
|
I remember how I got in trouble.
|
|
We were friends even back then when I said years ago as a senator, I said, you don't have to be a Jew to be a Zionist.
|
|
And I know you are.
|
|
You're clearly a Zionist, Mr. President.
|
|
Well, God love you.
|
|
Thank you very much.
|
|
Thanks for being here.
|
|
Thanks everybody, the cameras need to go, thank you.
|
|
Well, Mr. President, welcome to the White House.
|
|
Thank you very much, sir.
|
|
Good to have you here, Anne.
|
|
Thank you very much.
|
|
We're marking an important anniversary.
|
|
75 years of diplomatic relationship between Indonesia and the United States.
|
|
75 years.
|
|
I'm proud that the partnership between our countries is stronger than it's ever been.
|
|
And today we're going to discuss how we continue to strengthen that partnership.
|
|
First, in my view, by advancing free and open Indo-Pacific with ASEAN at its center.
|
|
As to the largest democracies in the world, it seems to me our nations have a special responsibility in this vision.
|
|
Second, fighting the climate crisis.
|
|
Indonesia is a critical player in the clean energy transition.
|
|
And third, by building a secure and resilient supply chain.
|
|
And finally, by deepening our comprehensive strategic partnership that includes deepening our security cooperation.
|
|
We'll discuss also global challenges, including in Gaza and the South China Sea.
|
|
So, Mr. President, I'm looking forward to our discussion and welcome.
|
|
I would like to have you here.
|
|
The floor is yours.
|
|
Thank you.
|
|
Thank you, President Biden.
|
|
Thank you for receiving me.
|
|
I also would like to thank you.
|
|
You voted me yourself upon my election.
|
|
And yes, thank you very much.
|
|
And then finally, I could make it, and you received me today.
|
|
The United States, for us, is a very great friend.
|
|
The United States supported us in our struggle for independence and helped us many times in our time of need.
|
|
Therefore, I will work very hard to strengthen Indonesian-United States relationship.
|
|
And I would like to work towards this end that we have a strong cooperation.
|
|
Once again, President Biden, thank you very much for our discussion.
|
|
Thank you, sir.
|
|
Thank you.
