The eleventh of July 2021 marks the twenty-sixth anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide, in which over 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys were murdered in the worst atrocity on European soil since the second world war. Today, I join hundreds of others across the country to pledge to ensure that we never forget about that genocide. This year's Srebrenica Memorial Day theme is rebuilding lives. In albeit very different ways, the COVID pandemic has brought loss and difficulties to millions, shattering individuals and communities who are now looking to rebuild their lives. As we move forward to rebuild our communities in the wake of many health and economic challenges, which people with divisive agendas are all too keen to exploit, we will remember the spirit of genocide survivors who, despite the horrendous hatred and destruction they were subjected to themselves, have been rebuilding their lives with dignity, humanity and without calling for retribution or promoting division or hatred. This is all the more remarkable and inspiring given what they went through. I therefore reaffirm the commitment to working towards the elimination of discrimination, rejecting hatred and intolerance and helping to build a safer, stronger and more cohesive society here in Wales. Thank you.
