Later, the teenage First Minister listened in on First Minister’s Questions in the Senedd, before taking part in an event to celebrate Wales’ recent, historic, qualification for the World Cup.

Speaking ahead of her short stint running the country, Jaime said, “I look forward to taking part in the Girl’s Takeover to show the importance of seeing girls in powerful leadership roles, which I think is so important if we are going to achieve true gender equality.”

In scenes rarely seen in politics, Mark Drakeford had nothing but praise for his 'replacement', saying, “I’m sure I’ll learn a lot from First Minister Jaime as she steps into my shoes for the day.”

“I hope girls across Wales see what Jaime does today and are inspired to become our leaders of the future,” he added.

The UN initiative takes place in countries all over the world, with young girls having temporarily taken on the role of president of Peru, prime minister of Timor-Leste, and the European Union ambassador to Egypt, among many others, during the last 10 years.

The Welsh Government is committed to being a Feminist Government, with more than half of the roles in Cabinet currently filled by women. Creating a more equal Wales also forms one of the seven well-being goals set out in the country’s groundbreaking Future Generations Act.
