Plaid Cymru – and any party in favour of an independent Wales – needs to set out defence and foreign policy options clearly to the people of Wales
During an interview with Ciaran Jenkins for Channel 4 during the general election, Rhun ap Iorweth was asked about NATO membership for an independent Wales. The Plaid Cymru leader said a relationship with NATO would be important to Wales, but that he’d prefer some form of associate membership, akin to Ireland’s relationship with NATO.
So, for the time being, NATO membership for an independent Wales is off the cards in Plaid Cymru’s vision for the country. What other options for defence policy could the party consider?
