Wales, UK; Nagaland, India

The visit of Nagaland’s Chief Minister, Neiphiu Rio, to Wales is an interesting development. The partnership forged provides an opportunity to study the broader aspects of Wales’ political status and its unique position within the United Kingdom (UK). It invites reflection on Wales’ historical journey toward greater autonomy and the complexities of its relationship with both the UK and Great Britain.

Wales, as a nation, has a distinct cultural and historical identity, yet its political sovereignty has evolved within the larger framework of the UK. In the context of the ongoing political talks between the Government of India and the Naga political groups, it is intriguing to take a closer look at Wales as a nation—its political status, history, nationalism, sovereignty, and its relationship with the UK.

Wales covers a geographical area of approximately 20,779 square kilometers, which is larger than the Indian state of Nagaland but much smaller than the broader Naga homeland. As of the latest estimates in 2023, the population of Wales is around 3.2 million.

Wales has its own parliament, known as Senedd Cymru, and its national flag, “Y Ddraig Goch” (The Red Dragon). While Wales does not have a separate constitution, its governance is defined by the Government of Wales Act 1998.

Wales is a distinct political entity, engaging in diplomatic and cultural exchanges independently of Westminster, as seen in the Hornbill Festival partnership with Nagaland. The Wales-India 2024 initiative exemplifies how Wales seeks to forge its own international partnerships, further enhancing its global profile while remaining within the UK.

Wales, one of the four nations that make up the UK, along with England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, is not an independent country. However, it is also interesting to note that Wales has its own national anthem called “Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau,” which translates to “Land of My Fathers” in English. And yes, Wales has a national football, cricket, and rugby teams.
