Mark Drakeford is visiting Brussels on Wednesday to meet with diplomats amid mounting concerns over Russia's invasion of the Ukraine.
Wales' First Minister is in the Belgian capital for a series of meetings as part of a programme of Welsh Government events being held this week to celebrate St David’s Day and to reaffirm Wales’ relationships with European nations and regions. The Welsh Government said he would be meeting "key international partners".
Mr Drakeford is expected to discuss the actions taken in Wales in reaction to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, with assessments underway on how prepared the Welsh authorities are to accept Ukrainian citizens escaping the war.
