Foreign Secretary takes China message to Flickr

Foreign secretary David Miliband has been in Manchester’s Chinatown and has been sharing pictures from his visit with the world on the photography platform Flickr.
Below is a slideshow of the day’s events – everything from the journey up to Manchester by train to his meetings with members of the Chinese community.
It’s an interesting use of a social platform but does it lead to greater engagement and transparency in politics? Would love to know your thoughts on that topic!
There’s more about the purpose of his visit, plus a video interview with political reporter David Ottewell, here and official Government background info here.
