Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 2:08 pm on 17 November 2020.
I thank the First Minister for that positive and constructive response. I'm sure, like me, he would welcome the fact that it looks as though we're going to have a proactive, engaged and constructive partner, now, willing to play its role on the global stage, including by rejoining the World Health Organization in dealing with the global pandemic and by recommitting to the Paris agreement and actually taking a full and active role in Conference of the Parties 26 coming up.
But could I ask the First Minister what does he think we can do even more on the diplomatic, the economic, the social, the cultural ties? And what will the US presidency bring us in terms of perhaps things that we're not thinking so much about, like the attitude to trade and EU relations being currently negotiated by the UK Government, and also the Belfast agreement, the peace process, which, we have to remember, colleagues of ours put a lot into over successive Governments, including our good friend Paul Murphy?
