Thank you for your response. It didn't focus a great deal on the engagement with developing nations, but at least it told us that you were trying to crack on with things, in spite of having a strategy to work with. One of the references in your draft document said, and I quote: we will,

'demonstrate global responsibility by rebranding the successful Wales for Africa programme to become the Wales and Africa programme with a focus on sustainability', which doesn't strike me as sounding very ambitious—a simple rebrand of that programme. You've already heard this afternoon that its success has been lauded by Assembly Members on all sides of this Chamber in all political parties. And I, too, want to congratulate the Welsh Government on the success of that programme. I think it's a very valuable and noble programme that is making a real difference in the lives of people in sub-Saharan Africa. But the heart of the Welsh people goes beyond just sub-Saharan Africa. There are many organisations that have engagement with nations in the far east, in south America, in the middle east and all sorts of other places around the world, where, I believe that, with a little bit of support from the Welsh Government, we can amplify the impact that Wales has in those nations and make a real difference.

Just yesterday, I attended a presentation by the Disasters Emergency Committee, which clearly demonstrated just how passionate people in Wales are and how much they care about these other parts of the world. They told us about when the Disasters Emergency Committee launched appeals in the past and gave us some figures in terms of the Welsh contribution to the overall giving. They told us that, with the Nepal earthquake appeal back in April 2015, over £2.5 million was raised here in Wales. They told us that, in response to an appeal about the crisis in Yemen in December 2016, over £1 million was raised. They told us that the Myanmar appeal in 2017 raised over £842,000, and the Indonesia tsunami appeal in 2018 raised over £871,000. These are huge sums of money, all of which are much more in excess of the actual total budget—in fact, every one of those appeals—for the whole of the Wales for Africa programme.

Minister, do you agree with me that it's time we had a Wales for the world programme, where actually we can expand what we do, we can be more globally responsible, and we can amplify the Welsh presence in those developing nations and show some leadership, yes, on climate change, but also on alleviating poverty and responding to these sorts of situations that, very clearly, the people of Wales are passionate about?
