The 'compact'
A statement published on Wednesday said there had now been "constructive and positive talks about the parties' shared priorities for the coming assembly, and future working arrangements".
The statement said: "The basis of the agreement reached, a Compact to Move Wales Forward, is the establishment of three liaison committees - on finance, legislation and the constitution.
"This will allow formalised joint working on future priorities.
"However, this does not constitute a coalition, or a formal confidence and supply arrangement [where an opposition party sustains a minority administration through budgets and any confidence votes, in return for policy concessions] and both parties reserve the right to respectfully agree to disagree."
