Absolutely possible, and, of course, having a Senedd Member to speak up for you and to make that case is always a great advantage. There, there may be more direct routes. I'm always very pleased to hear, myself, directly from any Senedd Member that has a…

Just to give you one practical example from the same sort of field that Hefin raised, it's Wales in Canada Year, and, as part of that, three major supermarket chains across Canada have been promoting Snowdonia cheese. And that will have happened in exactly…

Sure. Well, look, maybe I'll ask Andrew to explain what the process would be, because it is a well-trodden path, so he can set it out for you.

Well, the primary focus of those international offices is on trade and on making sure that, where there are opportunities either to identify and work with inward investors or where there are exporters from Wales wanting to find opportunities elsewhere—. That…

Not at this point, Chair. The offices are really only now being able to get back to doing the sort of things that we would have normally expected them to be able to do. At the height of the pandemic, they were pretty fundamentally repurposed. Our people on…

Yes, absolutely happy to have that sort of discussion—set it out on paper to begin with, and then at a future occasion to discuss it, if that was useful.

[Inaudible]—as I can. I say to my team all the time I want our efforts as a Welsh Government to be focused on delivering the strategy, not going over and over the strategy. The strategy was designed, and the action plans published, after we left the European…

It does vary. They're all captured in the annual report. We report on the waterfront there. Written statements are issued, but not invariably. How can I put this, Chair, in the best way? Some of the visits from ambassadors have a work programme and a lot of…

Some of it will be shared, some of it I will do directly myself. Amongst our key partners in all of this would be, for example, arts organisations. A lot of what we do involves the promotion of cultural links with the rest of the world, and so that would be…

It has always been the case that responsibilities for international relations are spread across the whole of the Welsh Government. Just to give a couple of examples, Jeremy Miles as the Minister for education has responsibility for our educational links with…

Visits to Qatar during the World Cup itself are still being thought through, and we're in discussions with the FAW and so on. If there is to be a visit, then you want the visit to be at a point when it can have the maximum return on the time that would be…

Well, Chair, we'll be doing it in the run-up to the tournament as well as at the tournament itself. I met the ambassador from Qatar here in Cardiff last week; he came as a result of Wales's qualification. I was able to say to him that, had he come into the…

Rwy'n cytuno â'r Aelod ynglŷn â'r angen am fuddsoddiad sylweddol iawn, ond daw'r buddsoddiad gan gwmnïau dŵr. Nhw sy'n gyfrifol, nid Llywodraeth Cymru. Mae arian y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn ei fuddsoddi, ac mae gennym £40 miliwn eisoes yn cael ei wario yn y…
