“STOP THE WORLD, SCOTLAND HAS IDEAS, AND YOU’RE GOING TO WANT TO HEAR THEM” SAYS SNP MSP

“This is not just leadership of a government and a party, but global leadership. I am delighted to see the work that is going on internationally off our own back, sharing best practices, like the Baby Box, and promoting human rights across the globe. We don’t just have a presence on the world stage, but an influence”.

Highlands and Islands MSP Emma Roddick has highlighted the international work the Scottish Government has undertaken in building relationships and influencing policy at a global level.

 Speaking in the Parliament she said:

“This is not just leadership of a government and a party, but global leadership. I am delighted to see the work that is going on internationally off our own back, sharing best practices, like the Baby Box, and promoting human rights across the globe. We don’t just have a presence on the world stage, but an influence”.

“In my region of the Highlands and Islands perhaps more than anywhere else, the sharing of knowledge, innovation and talent in sectors from renewable energy and transport to property and land rights is something we can all take pride in”.

“It’s no longer just “stop the world, Scotland wants to get on” – it’s “stop the world, Scotland has ideas, and you’re going to want to hear them!”
