The organisers say:
“STOP THE ARMS FAIR. TELL THE WELSH GOVERNMENT TO ACT. ✋
On 3–4 September, the ‘Defence Security Resilience Cymru Summit’ will take place at the International Convention Centre at Celtic Manor in Newport.
Welsh public money is being used to co-organise an event bringing together arms companies and the military industry. Among those involved is General Dynamics, a major arms company connected to Israel’s military supply chain. BAE Systems, another major arms manufacturer supplying Israel, will also be exhibiting.
The Welsh Government cannot claim neutrality while public money helps facilitate an arms fair involving companies profiting from the global arms trade.
We are calling on the Welsh Government to cancel the event and end its support for the arms trade.
JOIN THE PROTEST.
📍 International Convention Centre, Celtic Manor, Newport ⏰ 8AM Thursday 📅 3 September”
