Question
What presence will the Welsh Government have at Festival Interceltique de Lorient this year?
Answer
Answered by First Minister (Eluned Morgan)
A representative from the Welsh Government’s France office will attend the Festival Interceltique de Lorient, and attend official festival events, including taking part in an event led by the Regional Council of Brittany focused on diaspora. Welsh activities at the festival will again be promoted through the Welsh Government’s social media channels.
The festival is part of a much wider relationship we have with the Brittany region. Our Memorandum of Understanding with Brittany marks 20-years of a formal relationship. Cultural co-operation is one of the priorities of that agreement, and last year we welcomed the President of Brittany to Wales to mark this historic moment.
