Rwy'n bwriadu parhau i feithrin perthynas newydd rhwng Llywodraeth Cymru a llywodraeth leol fel rhan o raglen eang o ddiwygio llywodraeth leol er mwyn atgyfnerthu ei chadernid a'i hadnewyddu. Mae'r Cynllun newydd hefyd yn darparu cyfle i fynegi'r berthynas newydd hon mewn geiriau ac i adlewyrchu'n gywir y gwahanol gydberthnasau sydd gan Lywodraeth Cymru â chyrff eraill a gynrychiolir ar y Cyngor Partneriaeth.
I intend to continue to build a new relationship between the Welsh Government and local government as part of a broad programme of local government reform which aims to bolster resilience and renewal in local government. The new Scheme also provides an opportunity to articulate this new relationship and to properly reflect the distinctive relationships Welsh Government has with other bodies represented at Partnership Council.
