Mae gan Gymru hanes balch o groesawu ffoaduriaid o nifer o wledydd gwahanol, a hynny ers blynyddoedd lawer. Ar 2 Medi, gwnaeth Prif Weinidog Cymru ddatganiad clir i’r perwyl  bod Llywodraeth Cymru yn barod i chwarae’i rhan wrth ymateb i’r argyfwng ffoaduriaid sydd ohoni ac i roi croeso i ffoaduriaid o Syria. Rhaid inni sylweddoli maint yr effaith ar y bobl hynny sy’n gorfod ffoi o’u cartrefi, gadael eu heiddo ac yn aml, eu teuluoedd  estynedig, er mwyn ceisio lloches mewn gwlad newydd. Ar 7 Medi, cyhoeddodd Prif Weinidog Cymru y byddai Llywodraeth Cymru yn cynnal Uwchgynhadledd er mwyn dod â chynrychiolwyr asiantaethau allweddol ynghyd i sicrhau bod trefniadau priodol yn eu lle i helpu  i ailgartrefu ffoaduriaid o Syria yma yng Nghymru.
Wales has a proud history of welcoming refugees over many years and from many different countries. On 2 September, the First Minister made clear the Welsh Government is ready to play its part in responding to the current refugee crisis and making welcome a number of Syrian refugees. The impact on people of having to flee their homes, possessions and often their wider families and seek refuge in a new country cannot be underestimated. On 7 September, the First Minister announced the Welsh Government would be holding a Summit to bring together representatives from key agencies to ensure the necessary arrangements are in place to help successfully resettle Syrian refugees in Wales.
