Government minister to give Opening Address

We are delighted to announce the speaker for the Morning Keynote Address at the upcoming Global Solidarity Summit.

Jane Hutt MS is Minister for Social Justice and Chief Whip in the Welsh Government. Among her ministerial responsibilities are the Wales and Africa programme; digital inclusion; equality and human rights; coordination of issues relating to asylum seekers and refugees; national implementation of the Well-being of Future Generations framework; and the Social Partnership and Public Procurement Bill.

Jane spent part of her childhood in Uganda and Kenya, and has lived and worked in Wales since 1972. A member of the Senedd since its creation in 1999, she has served in every administration to date and in several of the most senior roles in government, including as Minister for Finance and Leader of the House.

The Global Solidarity Summit brings together individuals and organisations from Wales working on solidarity projects across the world. From small community groups to Wales-based branches of international NGOs, we’re raising the profile of the sector in Wales.

The 2023 Summit will take place on Tuesday 23rd May at the University of South Wales Conference Centre in Treforest and online.
