The First Minister of Wales, Eluned Morgan, hosted a reception for UK-based ambassadors and high commissioners in London today.
The event at Somerset House provided an opportunity for the First Minister to meet with the wider diplomatic community, set out her priorities and discuss opportunities for Wales with representatives from other nations.
Eluned Morgan said:
“I’m keen that the Welsh Government takes an active role in developing opportunities within and outside Wales. The diplomatic community provides excellent support in helping build closer relations with other national and regional governments.
“We’ve had some major investments announced by multinationals in Wales in recent months and I’d like to keep that going. We also have cultural and sporting ambassadors who raise Wales’ profile internationally, helping make prospective investors and visitors consider Wales as a destination, while promoting Wales as a producer of goods and services with global appeal.
“Early next year the Welsh Government will be publishing our International Delivery Plan, which will set out the international activities to support the delivery of my four priorities.
“My message is clear: Wales is open for business – we must seize the momentum and let the world know what Wales has to offer.”
