Mumbai, Maharashtra, India To mark St David’s Day today, the celebration of Wales’ patron saint, the Welsh Government has launched ‘Wales in India’ to strengthen ties and opportunities between the two countries.
First Minister Mark Drakeford said, “We have so many remarkable connections with India and the many Indian communities living in Wales. Throughout this year of Wales in India, we will deepen our mutual appreciation and understanding, showcasing our deep-rooted partnerships and forging new connections."
Minister Morgan said, "This week I have cemented relationships with our Indian friends who are working to create a fair world, a principle which guides all of our government work in Wales."
Derek Walker, Future Generations Commissioner, who has joined Minister Morgan on her India visit said, “Wales is proud of its Well-being of Future Generations Act and is serious about the obligation it puts on us to be a nation of good ancestors."
Sian Lewis, Chief Executive of Urdd Gobaith Cymru, part of Minister Morgan’s delegation to promote Her Future Coalition, a charity who works to combat gender-based violence, said, “We are delighted to be embarking on this journey with Her Future Coalition, as their unwavering commitment to vulnerable young girls is truly inspiring. Our #FelMerch (transl. ‘Like a Girl’) project was first launched to empower the young women of Wales, and we fully support Her Future Coalition’s work in creating a lasting change in India."
