I visited Moscow on 28 – 30 June 2013 accompanied by senior officials and a trade mission of five Welsh companies.  The aim of the visit was to explore trade links with Russia and specifically with Kaluga Region, establish links with Embassy staff and local trade bodies. The opportunity also arose during the Mission to support the Welsh Rugby Union with their initial consideration to bid to host the 2018 World Cup Sevens in Cardiff.


Accompanied by my officials I attended a number of high level meetings and held discussions with the British Ambassador, his key staff and representatives from trade bodies, both British and Russian.  I also had the privilege of meeting two Ministers from Kaluga Region, which is the key Region for the Russian Automotive and light engineering sector.  This meeting was fruitful and I am following up a number of potential leads with the Russian Trade Delegation in London and via other channels.


You would wish to be aware that I also travelled with representatives from five Wales based companies, namely Dunbia (Meat Processor), Randel Parker Foods (Lamb and Beef Slaughters and Packers), Hybu Cig Cymru (Meat Promotion), Corgi Hosiery and Total Engine Support (Aerospace ) all of whom exhibited their goods and explored the Russian market via UKTI staff.  


The following companies showcased their produces at the Welsh Trade Reception, namely; Burts Biscuits and Cakes Ltd / Ogmore Vale Bakery, The Anglesey Sea Salt Company, Welsh Hills Bakery, The Good Carb Food Company Ltd, Drink Paq Ltd / Iconiq Drinks, Clarks\-UK Ltd, The Celt Experience Brewery, Wholebake Ltd, The Welsh Whisky Company, S.A. Brains Ltd (in conjunction with the Worldwide Drinks company) and Ty Nant Spring Water.  


All companies were extremely grateful for the support they received from my officials and British Embassy staff, they are all very keen to explore further commercial opportunities in Russia.


Whilst not originally planned, my discussions with the IRB highlighted the need to stress our world class sporting, cultural and economic opportunities if we are to stand any chance of hosting this prestigious event. I am in no doubt that I wish work with the Minister for Sport and Culture to support the WRU with their bid.


In summary my trip to Moscow highlighted the potential of the Russian market for Wales.

Ymwelais â Moscow ar 28 – 30 Mehefin 2013 yng nghwmni uwch swyddogion a thaith fasnach o bum cwmni o Gymru.  Nod yr ymweliad oedd edrych ar gysylltiadau masnach gyda Rwsia a'r rhanbarth Kaluga yn benodol, a sefydlu cysylltiadau gyda staff y Llysgenhadaeth a chyrff masnachu lleol. Cododd cyfle hefyd yn ystod y Daith i helpu Undeb Rygbi Cymru gyda'u hystyriaeth gychwynnol i wneud cais am gael cynnal Cwpan Rygbi Saith\-bob\-ochr y Byd 2018 yng Nghaerdydd.

Yng nghwmni fy swyddogion, roeddwn yn bresennol mewn nifer o gyfarfodydd ar lefel uchel, gan gynnal trafodaethau gyda Llysgennad Prydain, ei staff allweddol a chynrychiolwyr cyrff masnach Prydeinig a Rwsiaidd.  Hefyd cefais y fraint o gyfarfod dau Weinidog o Ranbarth Kaluga, sef y prif ranbarth ar gyfer y sector fodurol a pheirianneg ysgafn yn Rwsia.  Roedd y cyfarfod yn un buddiol iawn, ac rwy'n dilyn sawl trywydd posibl gyda Dirprwyaeth Fasnach Rwsia yn Llundain a thrwy sianelau eraill.

Dylech wybod hefyd i mi deithio gyda chynrychiolwyr o bum cwmni o Gymru, sef Dunbia (prosesu cig), Randel Parker Foods (lladd a phecynnu cig oen a chig eidion), Hybu Cig Cymru, Corgi Hosiery a Total Engine Support (awyrofod). Bu pob un yn arddangos eu cynnyrch ac yn ymchwilio i'r farchnad yn Rwsia drwy staff UKTI.  

Bu'r cwmnïau canlynol yn arddangos eu cynnyrch yn y Derbyniad Masnach; Burts Biscuits and Cakes Ltd / Ogmore Vale Bakery, Halen Môn, Welsh Hills Bakery, The Good Carb Food Company Ltd, Drink Paq Ltd / Iconiq Drinks, Clarks\-UK Ltd, The Celt Experience Brewery, Wholebake Ltd, The Welsh Whisky Company, S.A. Brains Ltd (mewn cydweithrediad â'r cwmni Worldwide Drinks) a Tŷ Nant.  

Roedd pob un o'r cwmnïau'n ddiolchgar tu hwnt am gymorth fy swyddogion a staff Llysgenhadaeth Prydain, ac mae pob un yn awyddus iawn i edrych ar gyfleoedd masnachol pellach yn Rwsia.

Er nad oedd yn rhan o'r cynllun gwreiddiol, yn sgil fy nhrafodaethau gyda'r Bwrdd Rygbi Rhyngwladol daeth yn amlwg bod angen tynnu sylw at y cyfleoedd chwaraeon, diwylliannol ac economaidd y gallwn eu cynnig, sydd o safon fyd\-eang, os ydym i gael unrhyw siawns o gynnal y digwyddiad mawreddog hwn. Nid oes gennyf unrhyw amheuaeth fy mod am weithio gyda'r Gweinidog Chwaraeon a Diwylliant i helpu Undeb Rygbi Cymru gyda'u cais.

I grynhoi, roedd fy nhaith i Foscow yn tynnu sylw at botensial marchnad Rwsia i Gymru.
