many have told me the story that king abdullah aziz found incredible, unbelievable that people could do this and this is before air conditioning now. and not long after electricity. and i asked the question who are these americans? and the answer led to some of us here for this particular relationship. so the meeting in 1945 was different. and in terms of the importance of it, of course, there was a defense aspect to it. and by the way, americans used the word security defense interchangeably. in arabic they're not. security is domestic. overwhelmingly so. and defense is external. borders air, sea, land, et cetera. so those americans who don't know arabic or have arabic in what their vocabulary realize this when you're speaking with an arab, don't use these words interchangeably when what you really mean is defense. and when we talk about regional security, this can confuse people when really we're talking about regional defense there. before i go on to introduce the prince, we have the ggc secretary-general here. he's going to speak afterwards. his excellency, and we also have the a
