Minister, I know that, in the international strategy you're developing, you will have regard to 'Selling Wales to the World', the report of the Economy, Infrastructure and Skills Committee, and I think it's really important in developing these export strategies that we realise that, as well as the big companies—they're very, very important—SMEs in higher level high-value manufacture and in digital industries are key, really, to our future growth. And I do hope when you're choosing trade missions that you will give full recognition to the needs and desires and the recommendations that SMEs are making for markets that could be more open to Welsh trade.
