First Minister shares hopeful New Year message for Wales

Eluned Morgan outlines vision for fairer, greener Wales in 2026 while calling for unity and an end to global conflicts.

Blwyddyn Newydd Dda! Happy New Year!

I hope you had a happy and peaceful Christmas.

As this year draws to a close, I want to wish you a prosperous year ahead.

This new year brings opportunities and hope.

We will continue to work for a fairer Wales that people can feel in their communities and everyday life.

A greener and more prosperous Wales, where people can thrive to reach their full potential, with more opportunities for better paid, long lasting jobs, where communities are supported and no-one is left behind.

We will continue to drive down NHS waiting lists, build more homes and improve train and bus services across Wales.

Looking further afield, I really hope this year will bring an end to the terrible conflicts and violence which have shocked us all in recent years.

I hope we can also stand up against those who are determined to sow division in our communities. Wales has always been a nation where we work together and build solidarity, whatever our background.

2026 is a new start for all of us, and there’s much to be hopeful about.

We can achieve so much more when we work together.

Diolch yn fawr a blwyddyn Newydd dda i chi gyd.
