Diolch, Llywydd. I'm delighted to be welcoming to the National Assembly tomorrow the distinguished Salvadorian parliamentarian and former United Nations ambassador, Rubén Zamora. Mr Zamora's visit comes as part of the Romero festival, leading to Romero Day on 24 March. Mr Zamora's visit to Cardiff is one of a number of events organised by the Romero Trust, whose aim is to promote the life, ministry and martyrdom of Óscar Romero across the UK. Óscar Romero was Archbishop of San Salvador when he was assassinated on 24 March 1980 as he was celebrating mass. Thirty-five years later he was declared a martyr and beatified in 2015. Rubén Zamora will talk about Monseñor Romero and the current situation in El Salvador, and then answer questions from an assembled audience.

I'm really proud to be hosting Rubén Zamora here in Wales. He has a distinguished career as a diplomat and social democratic politician who was a passionate advocate for peace throughout the country's civil war until 1992. As a founding member of the political opposition front, the FDR, Zamora travelled the world to build up diplomatic support for peace negotiations, but was forced to spend some years in exile following threats to his family. Last year, Rubén Zamora stepped down as El Salvador's representative at the United Nations, having previously served as an ambassador to the United States and to India. I'm delighted to be part of Rubén's visit to the UK.
