The UK Celtic Nations Summit is being held in Cardiff on 14 September, with the First Ministers of Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales taking part. Before the press conference, they signed a memorandum of understanding, also in the context of jointly supporting the right of every nation to self-determination.

Specifically, policymakers called for “preparing for, planning for, and securing constitutional change in every jurisdiction.” The purpose of these measures will be to ensure that referendums on leaving the United Kingdom can be organized.
