1.              What is your relationship, if any, to the International Strategy?

I have not had a relationship to date

 

2.            What are your views on the Welsh Government’s International Strategy – what’s worked well and any areas for improvement?

I recognise and agree with the three key priorities

 

3.            What are your views on the Welsh Government’s priority international relationships for 2022-25?

I think that progress is being made and I am most proud of the international recognition of the future generation act

 

4.            What are your views on the availability of information on the Welsh Government’s international activities and delivery of the strategy?

I work to seek it out and follow a few people on Linkedin. As I live in Wales I do not have a view from the outside

 

5.            In your view, what information on the Welsh Government’s international activities should be in the public domain?

 

6.            What are your views on how the Welsh Government’s international activity is resourced?

 

7.             What priorities and priority relationships would you like to see included in the Welsh Government’s approach to international relations beyond 2025?

I don't think that you can underestimate the impact of sport in this arena - but it is rarely mentioned. If you go abroad and say you are from Wales - if you then say Gareth Bale - people get it. On top of that I think that mass participation sporting events like Running and Triathlon bring large numbers to the country but don't need expensive facilities. We need to attract and develop such events

 

8.            Are there any other matters you would like to draw to the Committee’s attention regarding the Welsh Government’s international relations?
