The glories of Wales speak for themselves. A proud past as a crucible of the industrial revolution and, with growing strengths in aerospace and advanced manufacturing, exceptional universities, a world-renowned sporting and cultural heritage and a spellbinding landscape, a future full of promise.
We know that times are challenging, at home and abroad. But this only makes our mission to level up opportunity and prosperity across the whole of the United Kingdom more urgent. Wales has all the core strengths a nation needs to thrive in the years ahead. Its natural resources and human capital are second to none.
For too long, though, in common with communities across the UK, the potential of many parts of Wales has been undervalued and untapped. That is changing.
