Question
Will the First Minister outline how much the Welsh Government has spent on the Welsh envoys since their inception?
Answer
Answered by First Minister (Vaughan Gething)
Welsh Government envoys are a small cohort of successful individuals who utilise their close connections to Wales alongside their own international profile to support and secure opportunities for Wales in the Middle East and the US.
It is not possible to directly attribute any export or investment results to their work as their roles are more faciliatory in nature. In their voluntary and unpaid capacity, the envoys support our export and inward investment ambitions and also play a wider role in raising awareness of Wales, promoting areas of Welsh excellence and, more recently, our equality agenda.
