English: Can I thank the Minister for an advanced copy of her statement and congratulate her on the production of the international strategy? It's been 21 years since the advent of devolution and I think it's very important that Wales reaches out beyond its borders into those countries overseas where we have strong relationships and where there are opportunities to develop new relationships. I just think it's a matter of regret that it's taken such a long time to get to this position where we actually have a strategy before us. Can I also welcome the tone of the Minister's statement too? It's refreshingly different from the statement that we received last week on international trade. There's much that we can welcome on this side of the Chamber in the international strategy. I think it's absolutely right that there's a deliberate attempt by the Welsh Government to strengthen the presence of the Welsh Government overseas post Brexit. I think it's absolutely right that there are some very key and core ambitions that flow through the whole of the document. And I think it's right that we are attempting to get the Government focused on delivering centres of excellence around those three particular sectors that you referred to: cyber security, compound semiconductors and the creative industries. Because I think when we've got strengths, we must play to them, and we can certainly do more to capitalise on those and, indeed, to capitalise on our expertise in securing the future of Welsh as a very important official language, but nevertheless a minority language. So, can I congratulate you on all of those things, Minister, before I turn to some questions? One of the things that you have indicated in the document, and you referred to it briefly in your statement, is the importance of sporting events as opportunities to engage internationally. Of course, we did see some success in helping to harness the opportunities that were presented by the Rugby World Cup. We have the European championships coming up this summer, and I wonder if you could tell us a little bit more about your plans to harness the opportunities that that also presents. You referred, towards the end of your statement, as well, to the importance of human rights to us all here in Wales, on all sides of the Chamber in this National Assembly, and I would concur with your comments on those, but, of course, there's very little reference in the document to human rights. I think it's just mentioned five times, and it's very difficult to see how you're going to realise presenting Wales as a beacon of human rights. Now, you will recall that I presented a - . I was very fortunate to be drawn in the legislative ballot to bring some backbench legislation forward, and I chose to introduce an older people's rights Bill. Of course, the Welsh Government voted down the opportunity to take that Bill forward and instead said that it was going to do some more cross-cutting work on human rights. We're yet to receive an update on that and, of course, we're fast approaching the end of this Assembly and the opportunity to legislate in this Assembly. So, perhaps you could tell us how your commitment to human rights and the Welsh Government's commitment to human rights lines up with what appears to be a lack of action in taking anything forward. You mentioned also the importance of the diaspora, and you're quite right, where we have individuals who are overseas, they can help us to fly the flag for us here back home. But I was surprised at the lack of specific reference in the document to the importance of faith communities and the diaspora and the opportunity and the networks that faith communities are very often plugged in to. You will know, Minister, as well as I do, that Christian congregations, Muslim communities and others across Wales have a plethora of links to communities overseas. In many cases, Christian communities are trying to champion international development opportunities in many developing nations, and, of course, many Muslim communities are first-generation immigrants to this country and have links directly to families in their own nations. I just wonder whether that's a missed opportunity, really, in this strategy, and whether you might be able to do a little bit more work on that going forward. There are a number of key sectors in the document. One of them that you mentioned is tourism, and the importance of tourism to the Welsh economy, of course, has not gone unnoticed by you in this document. You mention adventure tourism, for example, being a growth industry. Of course, faith tourism is also a significant growth industry, and we've got a great network of pilgrims' ways across Wales and some wonderful sacred historical buildings that we have an opportunity to, again, help to promote a little bit more. So, I think that, potentially, is a missed opportunity too, and perhaps you could tell us whether that's something you're prepared to pick up outside of this strategy in terms of being able to benefit our tourism part of the economy and sector. Of course, one of the problems that that sector may face in the future is the potential advent of tourism taxes because of policy positions of your Government. I wonder if you could tell us how and whether that fits into your thinking. You mentioned the overseas network of offices - quite right that you've opened some new offices this year, and you've mentioned in previous statements your intention to do more. But, obviously, it's also important that they're accountable to this National Assembly and that there's a direct line of accountability back. I wonder if you could tell us how you're going to measure the success of those offices and their productivity, or otherwise. In addition to that, of course, foreign direct investment - you've mentioned the United States is the biggest area or nation in terms of foreign direct investment into Wales. Of course, some of the comments from the Welsh Government around the Trump administration won't help to grease any wheels in order to get more foreign direct investment into the country and, again, perhaps you could tell us how you're going to change the narrative around that in order to have a warmer relationship going forward. Just finally, if I may, we've championed on this side of the house the opportunities that we could have if we had a more team Wales approach on a cross-party basis, in order to promote this great nation in which we live. One of the things that I took note of in your document is that you do actually say that you want to, as a Welsh Government, invest in opportunities for the National Assembly and Members, on what appears to be on a cross-party basis, to engage internationally in networks. I think that's very, very welcome indeed. We'd like to see that formalised a little bit more through the establishment of a network of envoys on behalf of Wales. We reach far and wide when we work together, and with the proper resources we could really capitalise on the opportunities that that presents. So, perhaps you could tell us whether that is something that you might like to formalise in that sort of way, so that we can all move together as team Wales in terms of selling us to the world. I know I said 'finally', but I'm going to say one more 'finally', if that's okay, Llywydd, and that is just in terms of the Wales for Africa programme, something that we applaud the Government for investing in. I wonder whether you could consider widening the Wales for Africa programme out so that it becomes Wales for the world, because we know that there are links with Latin America that could be made, there are links with the middle east and Asia that could also be made, just with a little bit more investment. Many civic groups and societies have those links already, and I think some sort of focus to that by the Welsh Government getting on board in terms of broadening its reach beyond just sub-Saharan Africa would be something that we would very much welcome on this side of the Chamber. Thank you for being so accommodating.
Welsh: A gaf i ddiolch i'r Gweinidog am gopi o flaen llaw o'i datganiad a'i llongyfarch ar gynhyrchu'r strategaeth ryngwladol? Mae 21 mlynedd wedi mynd heibio ers dyfodiad datganoli ac rwy'n credu ei bod hi'n bwysig iawn bod Cymru yn ymestyn y tu hwnt i'w ffiniau i'r gwledydd hynny dramor lle mae gennym ni gysylltiadau cryf a lle ceir cyfleoedd i ddatblygu perthnasoedd newydd. Rwy'n credu ei bod hi'n resyn ei bod wedi cymryd cymaint o amser i gyrraedd y sefyllfa hon lle mae gennym ni strategaeth o'n blaen. A gaf i hefyd groesawu ysbryd datganiad y Gweinidog? Mae'n hynod wahanol i'r datganiad a gawsom yr wythnos diwethaf ar fasnach ryngwladol. Mae llawer y gallwn ei groesawu ar yr ochr hon i'r Siambr yn y strategaeth ryngwladol. Rwy'n credu ei bod hi'n gwbl briodol bod Llywodraeth Cymru yn ymdrechu'n fwriadol i gryfhau presenoldeb Llywodraeth Cymru dramor ar ôl Brexit. Rwy'n credu ei bod hi'n gwbl briodol bod rhai uchelgeisiau allweddol a chreiddiol iawn i'w gweld yn y ddogfen gyfan. Ac rwy'n credu ei bod hi'n briodol ein bod yn ceisio sicrhau bod y Llywodraeth yn canolbwyntio ar ddarparu canolfannau rhagoriaeth yn y tri sector penodol hynny y gwnaethoch chi gyfeirio atyn nhw: seiberddiogelwch, lled-ddargludyddion cyfansawdd a'r diwydiannau creadigol. Oherwydd fy mod yn credu pan fo gennym ni gryfderau, mae'n rhaid i ni fanteisio arnyn nhw, a gallwn yn sicr wneud mwy i fanteisio ar y rheini ac, yn wir, i fanteisio ar ein harbenigedd wrth sicrhau dyfodol y Gymraeg fel iaith swyddogol bwysig iawn, ond iaith leiafrifol serch hynny. Felly, a gaf fi eich llongyfarch ar yr holl bethau hynny, Gweinidog, cyn imi droi at rai cwestiynau? Un o'r pethau yr ydych chi wedi'i nodi yn y ddogfen, ac y gwnaethoch chi gyfeirio ati'n fyr yn eich datganiad, yw pwysigrwydd digwyddiadau chwaraeon fel cyfleoedd i ymgysylltu'n rhyngwladol. Wrth gwrs, fe welsom ni rywfaint o lwyddiant yn helpu i wneud yn fawr o'r cyfleoedd a ddaeth yn sgil Cwpan Rygbi'r Byd. Mae Pencampwriaeth Ewrop ar y gweill yr haf hwn, a tybed a wnewch chi ddweud ychydig mwy wrthym ni am eich cynlluniau i fanteisio ar y cyfleoedd y mae hynny'n eu cynnig hefyd. Fe wnaethoch chi gyfeirio, tuag at ddiwedd eich datganiad, hefyd, at bwysigrwydd hawliau dynol i bawb ohonom ni yma yng Nghymru, ar bob ochr i'r Siambr yn y Cynulliad Cenedlaethol hwn, ac rwy'n cytuno â'ch sylwadau ar y rheini, ond, wrth gwrs, ychydig iawn o gyfeirio sydd yn y ddogfen at hawliau dynol. Rwy'n credu y sonir amdanynt ryw bum gwaith, ac mae'n anodd iawn gweld sut byddwch yn gwireddu'r nod o gyflwyno Cymru fel enghraifft ddisglair o hawliau dynol. Nawr, byddwch yn cofio fy mod wedi cyflwyno - . Roeddwn yn ffodus iawn o gael fy newis yn y bleidlais ddeddfwriaethol i gyflwyno rhywfaint o ddeddfwriaeth o'r meinciau cefn, a dewisais gyflwyno Bil hawliau pobl hŷn. Wrth gwrs, pleidleisiodd Llywodraeth Cymru yn erbyn bwrw ymlaen â'r Bil ac, yn hytrach, dywedodd y byddai'n gwneud mwy o waith trawsbynciol ar hawliau dynol. Nid ydym ni eto wedi cael y wybodaeth ddiweddaraf am hynny ac, wrth gwrs, rydym yn nesáu at ddiwedd y Cynulliad hwn a'r cyfle i ddeddfu yn y Cynulliad hwn. Felly, efallai y gwnewch chi ddweud wrthym ni sut y mae eich ymrwymiad i hawliau dynol ac ymrwymiad Llywodraeth Cymru i hawliau dynol yn gyson â'r hyn sy'n ymddangos yn ddiffyg gweithredu wrth fwrw ymlaen ag unrhyw beth. Fe wnaethoch chi sôn hefyd am bwysigrwydd y Cymry alltud, ac rydych chi yn llygad eich lle, lle mae gennym ni unigolion dramor, gallant ein helpu i chwifio'r faner i ni yma gartref. Ond cefais fy synnu gan y diffyg cyfeiriad penodol yn y ddogfen at bwysigrwydd cymunedau ffydd a'r Cymry alltud a'r cyfle a'r rhwydweithiau y cysylltir cymunedau ffydd yn aml iawn â nhw. Byddwch yn gwybod, Gweinidog, gystal â minnau, fod gan gynulleidfaoedd Cristnogol, cymunedau Mwslimaidd ac eraill ledled Cymru gysylltiadau lu â chymunedau dramor. Mewn llawer o achosion, mae cymunedau Cristnogol yn ceisio hyrwyddo cyfleoedd datblygu rhyngwladol mewn llawer o genhedloedd sy'n datblygu, ac, wrth gwrs, mae llawer o gymunedau Mwslimaidd yn fewnfudwyr cenhedlaeth gyntaf i'r wlad hon ac mae ganddynt gysylltiadau uniongyrchol â theuluoedd yn eu gwledydd eu hunain. Tybed a yw hynny'n gyfle a gollwyd, mewn gwirionedd, yn y strategaeth hon, ac a allech chi wneud ychydig mwy o waith ar hynny yn y dyfodol. Mae nifer o sectorau allweddol yn y ddogfen. Un ohonynt y soniwch amdano yw twristiaeth, ac nid ydych chi wedi anghofio crybwyll pwysigrwydd twristiaeth i economi Cymru, wrth gwrs, yn y ddogfen hon. Rydych chi'n sôn bod twristiaeth antur, er enghraifft, yn ddiwydiant sy'n tyfu. Wrth gwrs, mae twristiaeth ffydd hefyd yn ddiwydiant twf sylweddol, ac mae gennym ni rwydwaith gwych o ffyrdd pererinion ar draws Cymru a rhai adeiladau hanesyddol cysegredig gwych y mae gennym ni gyfle, unwaith eto, i helpu eu hyrwyddo ychydig bach yn fwy. Felly, rwy'n credu bod hynny, o bosibl, yn gyfle a gollwyd hefyd, ac efallai y gwnewch chi ddweud wrthym ni a yw hynny'n rhywbeth yr ydych yn barod i'w wneud ar wahan i'r strategaeth hon o ran y ffaith y gallai fod o fudd i'r rhan o'r economi a'r sector sy'n ymwneud â thwristiaeth. Wrth gwrs, un o'r problemau y gallai'r sector hwnnw ei wynebu yn y dyfodol yw dyfodiad posib trethi twristiaeth oherwydd safbwyntiau polisi eich Llywodraeth. Tybed a wnewch chi ddweud wrthym ni os yw, a sut y mae hynny'n rhan â'ch meddylfryd . Fe wnaethoch chi sôn am y rhwydwaith swyddfeydd dramor - mae hi'n dda iawn eich bod wedi agor rhai swyddfeydd newydd eleni, ac rydych chi wedi sôn mewn datganiadau blaenorol am eich bwriad i wneud mwy. Ond, yn amlwg, mae hefyd yn bwysig eu bod yn atebol i'r Cynulliad Cenedlaethol hwn a bod llinell atebolrwydd uniongyrchol yn ôl. Tybed a wnewch chi ddweud wrthym ni sut yr ydych chi'n mynd i fesur llwyddiant y swyddfeydd hynny a'u cynhyrchiant, neu fel arall. Yn ogystal â hynny, wrth gwrs, buddsoddiad uniongyrchol o dramor - rydych chi wedi sôn mai'r Unol Daleithiau yw'r ardal neu'r genedl fwyaf o ran buddsoddiad uniongyrchol o dramor i Gymru. Wrth gwrs, ni fydd rhai o'r sylwadau gan Lywodraeth Cymru ynghylch gweinyddiaeth Trump yn llesol wrth geisio cael mwy o fuddsoddiad uniongyrchol tramor i'r wlad ac, unwaith eto, efallai y gwnewch chi ddweud wrthym ni sut yr ydych yn mynd i newid eich cân yn hynny o beth er mwyn cael perthynas gynhesach yn y dyfodol. Yn olaf, os caf i, rydym ni wedi dadlau ar yr ochr hon i'r tŷ am y cyfleoedd a allai ddod i'n rhan pe baem yn mabwysiadu mwy o ysbryd tîm Cymru ar sail drawsbleidiol, er mwyn hyrwyddo'r genedl wych hon yr ydym yn byw ynddi. Un o'r pethau y sylwais arno yn eich dogfen yw eich bod yn dweud mewn gwirionedd eich bod chi, Llywodraeth Cymru, yn dymuno buddsoddi mewn cyfleoedd i'r Cynulliad Cenedlaethol a'r Aelodau, ar yr hyn sy'n ymddangos fel pe bai ar sail drawsbleidiol, i ymgysylltu'n rhyngwladol mewn rhwydweithiau. Rwy'n credu bod hynny'n dderbyniol iawn, yn wir. Hoffem weld hynny'n cael ei ffurfioli ychydig yn fwy drwy sefydlu rhwydwaith o lysgenhadon ar ran Cymru. Rydym yn cyflawni llawer pan fyddwn yn cydweithio, a chyda'r adnoddau priodol gallwn fanteisio'n sylweddol ar y cyfleoedd y mae hynny'n eu cynnig. Felly, efallai y gwnewch chi ddweud wrthym ni a yw hynny'n rhywbeth yr hoffech ei ffurfioli yn y ffordd yna, fel y gallwn ni i gyd symud gyda'n gilydd fel tîm Cymru o ran hyrwyddo ein hunain i'r byd. Rwy'n gwybod fy mod wedi dweud 'yn olaf', ond rwy'n mynd i ddweud un 'yn olaf' arall, os yw hynny'n iawn, Llywydd, ac mae hynny o ran y rhaglen Cymru o Blaid Affrica, rhywbeth yr ydym yn cymeradwyo'r Llywodraeth am fuddsoddi ynddi. Tybed a wnewch chi ystyried ehangu'r rhaglen Cymru o Blaid Affrica fel y daw yn Gymru o blaid y byd, oherwydd gwyddom y gellid gwneud cysylltiadau ag America Ladin, mae cysylltiadau â'r dwyrain canol ac Asia y gellid eu gwneud hefyd, dim ond gydag ychydig mwy o fuddsoddi. Mae gan lawer o grwpiau a chymdeithasau dinesig y cysylltiadau hynny eisoes, ac rwy'n credu y byddai rhyw fath o bwyslais ar hynny gan Lywodraeth Cymru yn mynd ati i ymestyn y tu hwnt i'r gwledydd hynny yn Affrica sydd i'r de o'r Sahara yn rhywbeth y byddem yn ei groesawu'n fawr ar yr ochr hon i'r siambr. Diolch am fod mor hyblyg.
