Version 0 of 1. World leaders attending the Nato summit will go home with a selection of Welsh-related gifts. The US president Barack Obama, the German chancellor Angela Merkel and more than 50 other heads of state were all given goodie bags which UK government officials hope will show off the country's products as well as its character. The freebie items – from 25 Welsh businesses – include a credit card-sized and Bridgend-made Raspberry Pi computer, Welsh Rugby Union rugby balls, and books of Dylan Thomas's poetry.

Here are some fine examples of its strong heritage in craftsmanship and food, too."From the poems of Dylan Thomas and the craftsmanship of the Royal Mint to produce being made today in Wales, I hope you will enjoy each of these gifts and be inspired by them to find out about all that Wales has to offer." Other items in the goodie bags are handcrafted willow baskets, personalised Nato coasters, a bottle of Penderyn whisky, woollen socks, and a print of Newport's transporter bridge. |
