Morgan gets grilled over aims of planned summit
Western Mail
|June 20, 2025
FIRST Minister Eluned Morgan has been criticised over the Welsh Government's international strategy, including by some of her own party’s Senedd members.
She appeared at the Senedd’s culture committee and was asked about international strategy and plans for an investment summit in December at the Celtic Manor in Newport.
Labour's Llanelli MS, Lee Waters, asked what a planned summit would actually achieve.
“You've created a summit. Well, having organised lots of conferences - conferences can take a lot of energy and deliver very little, so [it’s] interesting how you measure that.”
The First Minister responded there were three priorities - to raise the nation’s profile, grow the economy and establish Wales as a globally responsible country.
When she was further questioned, she said: “We've got a lot of ambitions and we're doing a lot of work on it and we're expecting it to deliver quite a bit.”
