"Prynhawn da," and thank you for joining us today for the Wales Investment Summit."
"Wales was the first place Catherine and I made our home together, on the island of Anglesey, When you make a home in Wales, you join a family of three million people, and the sense of warmth and belonging is what makes Wales unlike anywhere else."
"I am pleased to be continuing the work of my father, the King, who over half a century ago, personally encouraged the co-founder of Sony to open its first European factory here in Wales," the royal heir continued. "That decision wasn’t simply an investment. It was an act of faith in the ingenuity and spirit of this nation. The legacy of that decision is still felt today, having brought thousands of jobs and opportunities to local people over the past fifty years. His leadership in championing Welsh business and innovation is something which I am proud to have the opportunity to continue today."
