Ar y diwrnod cyntaf, gwnes gynnal cyfarfod bord gron ar gyfer y cwmnïau Cymreig a oedd yn cymryd rhan mewn taith fasnach â Qatar. Roedd hwn yn gyfle i mi gwrdd â'r cwmnïau, deall eu dyheadau ar gyfer y daith fasnach a'r gefnogaeth a roddwyd iddynt gan Lywodraeth Cymru i gyflawni'r amcanion hyn. Roedd hefyd yn gyfle i glywed yn uniongyrchol am eu profiadau o wneud busnes yn Qatar a deall y cyfleoedd a'r heriau y maent yn eu hwynebu.  Roedd hon yn daith fasnach aml-sector a drefnwyd fel rhan o'r broses gweithredu ein Cynllun Gweithredu Allforio i Gymru ac roeddwn yn falch o weld cynrychiolwyr o bob math o sectorau, gan gynnwys bwyd a diod, gweithgynhyrchu, a gwasanaethau hyfforddiant ac addysg.
On the first day, I hosted a business round table for the Wales-based companies who were taking part in a trade mission to Qatar. This was an opportunity for me to meet the companies, understand their aspirations for the trade mission and the support that they had been given by the Welsh Government to achieve these objectives. It was also a chance to hear directly about their experiences of doing business in Qatar and understand the opportunities and challenges that they face. This was a multi-sector trade mission delivered as part of the implementation of our Export Action Plan for Wales and I was pleased to see representatives from across a variety of sectors, including food and drink, manufacturing, and training and education services.
