David Milliband meets Glasgow Muslims
April 30, 2009
UK Foreign Secretary David Milliband took time out from the Cabinet’s Glasgow visit, to speak to members of Glasgow’s Muslim community.
He answered questions about foreign policy, particularly the UK’s engagement with Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Hosted by Pollokshields Youth and Community Support Agency (YCSA) the event took place in the Kabana restaurant on Seaward Street and was attended by around 70 people. Anwari Din from YCSA said: ‘We had very positive feedback. The young people would have liked more time to speak to Mr Milliband. He was as open as he could be, and was relaxed and informal, which the audience appreciated.’
David Milliband was in Glasgow attending the UK Government’s historic Cabinet meeting in Scotland to discuss the economy. The Cabinet last met in Scotland in 1921.
Mr Milliband was welcomed to Glasgow by YCSA’s Shoket Aksi, first in Arabic then in English. The event was hosted by YCSA’s Anwari Din, shown wearing a green dress and headscarf.
David Milliband takes questions on UK foreign policy. The sound quality varies because Mr Milliband does not use a microphone.
