First Minister Eluned Morgan will meet with fellow-UK leaders in Scotland on Friday October 11 as part of the first-ever Council of the Nations and Regions.

Ms Morgan will be joined by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, Scottish First Minister John Swinney, and Northern Ireland’s First Minister Michelle O’Neill and deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly.

England’s regional mayors will also be involved, with economic growth set to be discussed.

Ms Morgan described the new council as “evidence of the reset in relations with the new UK Government“.

She continued: ” Only by truly working together can we deliver for Wales and the rest of the UK. The council offers a major opportunity to work as partners on the number one mission of economic growth.

“There are a number of shared priorities on which we can work in partnership, including supporting people into work, fostering innovation and investment and improving economic infrastructure and skills.

“This is a major opportunity to reset relations and begin a new era of partnership across the UK.”

Following the meeting, Ms Morgan will attend the UK Government’s inaugural International Investment Summit in London on Monday October 14.
