Llywydd, the work that has been already achieved in this area fills me with pride, and I know that many exciting projects are also in the pipeline, but we mustn’t be complacent, as I know we will still have much work to do.

We recently saw how sport can also play a role in achieving our aims. The Football Association for Wales has successfully ignited the nation’s pride and reignited the nation's love of the language, weaving it naturally into announcements and communications, showing us how to use Cymraeg organically in a way that unites us. They recently showcased Wales to the world at the World Cup and seeing Cymraeg and our culture on the international stage highlighted the importance of languages and culture internationally. Around the globe, bilingualism and multilingualism is the norm. It was only last week, on 21 February, that we celebrated International Mother Language Day. The United Nations promotes the fact that,

'Multilingualism contributes to the development of inclusive societies that allow multiple cultures, worldviews and knowledge systems to coexist and cross-fertilize'.

Earlier today, and in line with International Mother Language Day, I was delighted to attend an event in Grangemoor Park. I also met earlier this afternoon with representatives from Bangladesh's High Commissioner's office. We spoke about a range of issues, including how languages can unite communities here in Wales and around the world.
