David Miliband: conversations with the people of Wales
 
Have you ever wanted to ask the Foreign Secretary about our foreign policy, how it works and what it means for you in Wales? Now is your opportunity! We are inviting you to ask David Miliband direct.
         
David is visiting Cardiff on 16-17 October. He will meet a wide range of people from different Cardiff communities. He will talk to them about how foreign policy issues such as climate change, migration, trade-investment and international conflicts are not just foreign policy issues, but have an affect on our daily lives. He will hear from these groups what foreign policy means to them and the impact these challenges are having on these communities.
 
- Are you affected by these global issues?
- Are you worried about the impact of global trends on your community?
- Would you like to know how the work of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office affects Wales?
- Have you always wanted to comment on an aspect of our Foreign policy?
 
If so, now is your opportunity to ask and comment to David direct! 
During the next week, he invites you to put your questions on these and other related foreign policy issues to him via Yoosk.  And he will respond to your questions on this site.

    I submitted my full UK contact details to the FCO bureacrats in Indonesia in my support and complete sponsorship for a visit/tourist visa application for a 3 month visit to the UK for an Indonesian citizen. This application was refused based on incorrect and discriminatory attitudes and biased opinions of the ECO/ECM and despite my escalation to the FCO for names and contact details of the decision makers, I have received nothing but stonewalling from the FCO.
    Mr Milliband I shall be forwarding my FCO correspondence for your direct review and your procrastination or refusal to review this FCO impasse and pettyness is not acceptable. 
    I await your email response before I haul the FCO to court for breaching my European Court of Human Rights.
