Mae’n 40 mlynedd ers i’r cwmni cyntaf o Japan fuddsoddi yng Nghymru. Mae nifer o rai eraill wedi dilyn ac, fel y mae Calbee yn dangos, mae cwmnïau’n parhau i ddewis Cymru heddiw. Nid oes amheuaeth bod y farchnad buddsoddiadau rhyngwladol wedi dod yn fwy cystadleuol dros y degawdau, ac mae’n hanfodol i ni weithio’n galed er mwyn anfon y neges fod Cymru ar agor ar gyfer busnes.  Mae’r weinyddiaeth hon wedi rhoi blaenoriaeth i berthynas Cymru â Japan ac rwy’n edrych ymlaen at flynyddoedd eto o fusnes sydd er lles i’r ddwy wlad.
It is 40 years since the first Japanese company invested in Wales.  Many others have followed and, as Calbee shows, companies continue to choose Wales today.  The international investment market has unquestionably become more competitive over the decades and it is vital that we work hard to send out the pro-active message that Wales is open for business.  This administration has prioritised Wales’ relationship with Japan and I look forward to many more years of mutually beneficial business.
