Yn Ninas Efrog Newydd, cefais y fraint o ganu’r Gloch Olaf yng Nghyfnewidfa Stoc Efrog Newydd fel rhan o ddathliadau Dydd Gŵyl Ddewi.  Nid pob arweinydd gwlad sy’n cael y fraint hon ac mae’n dangos y graddau rydyn ni’n cydweithio â phartneriaid busnes blaenllaw o Gymru yn America i chwyddo’n proffil.  Hedfanai’r Ddraig Goch yn falch uwchben Wall Street gan wneud ein gwlad yn amlwg yng nghanol prifddinas masnach a busnes y byd.  Cynhaliais dderbyniad ar wahân hefyd ar gyfer y gymuned Dechnoleg yng nghanol ardal arloesi ac uwch-dechnoleg Efrog Newydd.  Mae’n dda iawn cael nodi bod pobl fusnes o Gymru yn yr Unol Daleithiau yn barod iawn i weithio gyda ni i’n helpu i hyrwyddo Cymru fel lle ar gyfer busnesau a buddsoddi, ac mae hynny wedi dod â manteision mawr inni.
In New York City I was privileged to ring the Closing Bell on the New York Stock Exchange as part of a celebration of St David’s Day.  This privilege, which is afforded to few heads of government, illustrates the degree to which we are working closely with senior Welsh business partners in the States to maximise our profile.  The Red Dragon flew proudly above Wall Street and made our nation visible at the heart of the world’s trading and business capital.  I also held a separate reception for the Tech community in the heart of New York’s innovation and hi-tech district.  It is immensely pleasing to note, and enormously to our advantage, that Welsh business people in the US are willing to work with us to help promote Wales as a business and investment location.
