"Mr President, I would like to congratulate the Welsh rugby team on their outstanding performance in the 2011 Rugby World Cup in New Zealand. As a proud nation of three million Welsh people, where rugby is the national sport, the Welsh team has deserved the world’s recognition for their achievement in reaching the semi-finals.
To hear the Welsh national anthem being sung in my mother tongue, which is growing in its usage annually, was a huge source of pride. Many of the Welsh team use Welsh as their first language and they all – English or Welsh speaking – are an example of how our national sportsmen and women make a huge contribution to national unity and to promoting our culture in a global context.
Sport is a source of cultural pride to our nation and should be used as a tool to promote regional diversity in the EU and beyond. ‘
our congratulations to the Welsh team!"@en1
