Let me also thank Australia for its leadership and friendship over decades. While I'm not able to visit Australia on this trip, we know that Australia is one of our most trusted allies in the world. And as we've all seen in the news, wildfires have devastated the state of Victoria during the past week. President Obama and Prime Minister Rudd have discussed the situation by phone. And we have sent forest fire specialists to help the Australians out. We want our Australian friends to know that we mourn with them over the loss of innocent lives in this tragedy, and we remain grateful for our work together in the past and what we will do together in the future.
