English: Thank you. Being able to develop a formal, strategic three-year partnership with the Welsh Government has made a major difference to us. It has guaranteed jobs over the past three years, but it's also ensured that we've been able to look far more deeply into the sector that we fund and how we work differently at a very different time of course. As part of the arts council, we fund a portfolio of 67 bodies, which themselves have major strategies and international partnerships. So, I wouldn't like for a second to think that we're doing it just for ourselves - we're not. We're all doing it for those organisations as well. Also, I would say that while partnering with the Government on the one hand has enabled us to work better around some of the major themes and around the themed years - for example, Germany last year, or preparing Wales's year in Canada this year, and France next year - it's also given us more confidence to collaborate across the cultural sector with different partners here today and beyond. And it has also enabled us to continue with the work of supporting individual artists and freelancers to do this important work. For example, the Pethau Bychain campaign that we launched as part of St David's Day last year is one that we're pushing worldwide. As to the importance of being able to work with the Government in countries, I cannot emphasise that enough, but also, of course, working with UK agencies such as the British Council and the arts councils in the four nations. I think one of the specific things that is important for us to consider is not just that we see Wales as we want to see Wales, but how Wales is perceived globally. The question of perceptions is a huge one, since before the Brexit referendum. But I think that the 'Wales' brand has something new and cultural to offer within the well-being agenda. And Wales's reputation as a small nation that prioritises well-being and leads on the basis of our values is starting to cut through. So, I think that is also part of the work for us and an advantage of being able to collaborate much more closely with not only the Welsh Government, but the other agencies that they fund strategically.
Welsh: Diolch. Mae bod wedi cael datblygu partneriaeth dair blynedd strategol, ffurfiol efo'r Llywodraeth wedi gwneud gwahaniaeth anferth i ni. Mae wedi sicrhau swyddi dros gyfnod o dair blynedd, ond hefyd mae wedi golygu ein bod ni'n gallu edrych lot yn fwy dwfn i mewn i'r sector rydyn ni'n ei ariannu a sut rydym yn gweithio'n wahanol mewn cyfnod gwahanol iawn wrth gwrs. Fel rhan o'r cyngor celfyddydau, rydyn ni'n rhan o ariannu portffolio o 67 o gyrff, sydd eu hunain efo strategaethau mawr, cryf a phartneriaethau rhyngwladol, felly. Hoffwn i ddim am eiliad feddwl mai jest gwneud o i ni ein hunain ydym ni - dydyn ni ddim. A hefyd, byddwn i'n dweud bod partneru efo'r Llywodraeth ar yr un llaw wedi ein galluogi ni i fedru gweithio'n well o gwmpas rhai o'r prif themâu ac o gwmpas y blynyddoedd - er enghraifft yn yr Almaen y llynedd, neu baratoi blwyddyn Cymru yng Nghanada eleni, a Ffrainc y flwyddyn nesaf - ond hefyd mae wedi rhoi mwy o hyder inni fedru cydweithio ar draws y sector diwylliannol efo partneriaid gwahanol sydd yma heddiw a thu hwnt. Mae hefyd wedi ein galluogi ni i fedru cario ymlaen efo'r gwaith o gefnogi artistiaid unigol a phobl lawrydd i wneud y gwaith pwysig. Mae, er enghraifft, ymgyrch Pethau Bychain, y gwnaethom ni ei lansio'n rhan o Ŵyl Ddewi y llynedd, yn un rydym yn ei bwsio drwy'r byd. Ond o ran pwysigrwydd medru gweithio gyda'r Llywodraeth mewn gwledydd, alla i ddim pwysleisio digon ar hynny, ond hefyd, wrth gwrs, efo asiantaethau'r Deyrnas Unedig fel y British Council a chynghorau celfyddydau y pedair gwlad. Dwi'n meddwl mai un o'r pethau penodol sy'n bwysig inni ei ystyried ydy nid yn unig ein bod yn gweld Cymru fel rydym ni eisiau gweld Cymru, ond sut mae Cymru'n cael ei gweld o weddill y byd. Mae'r cwestiwn o gwmpas perceptions yn un anferth, ers cyn refferendwm Brexit. Ond dwi yn meddwl bod gan y brand 'Cymru' rywbeth newydd, diwylliannol i'w gynnig o fewn agenda llesiant. Ac mae enw Cymru, o ran gwlad fach sy'n blaenoriaethu llesiant ac yn arwain efo'n gwerthoedd, yn dechrau torri drwodd. Felly, dwi'n meddwl bod hwnnw hefyd yn rhan o'r gwaith i ni a'r fantais o fod yn gallu cydweithio yn llawer nes efo nid yn unig Llywodraeth Cymru, ond yr asiantaethau eraill y maen nhw'n eu hariannu'n strategol.
