 I would like to send my warmest wishes to the Indian community in Wales and to all those around the world who will be celebrating Diwali today. The celebrations this year will need to be different as we continue to tattle the pandemic and I would ask everyone to take all the necessary measures to stay safe, protect yourselves, your families and others. These are worrying times but I have been really encouraged by the way in which communities including of course the Indian community in Wales have come together to help each other and to support the most vulnerable in our society. Together we are stronger and can get through these difficult times. We are fortunate in Wales to have an amazing NHS which includes so many from the Indian community and that has been at the forefront of the battle against coronavirus and huge efforts have been made to help us through the pandemic. I'm delighted that partners including the Indian community have helped us prepare a range of virtual events to Mark Diwali highlighting the strong relationship that exists between India and Wales. I hope that you will have the opportunity to join some of these events during the week ahead. Diwali is a time to mark the triumph of hope over despair so as we celebrate the festival let us look forward with hope to a more positive future beyond the current crisis. My very best wishes for a happy Diwali to you all.
