  • 28 Oct 2009 - - Le Monde - Too Late... The Rt Hon David Miliband, MP, Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs addresses the IISS on "EU Foreign Policy After Lisbon" Le plus gravement atteint est le jeune et brillant secrétaire au Foreign Office, David Miliband. Déjà, au congrès du Labour, le mois dernier, il avait dit toute sa foi dans l'Union européenne. Lundi 26 octobre, il est allé plus loin. Dans un discours important, il a relégué au deuxième plan ce qui était depuis toujours le pilier numéro un de la politique étrangère britannique : la relation privilégiée avec les Etats-Unis. M. Miliband, qui pourrait être appelé à diriger le Labour, lui substitue une autre pri
  • 27 Oct 2009 - - CNN - U.S. Welcomes China #2 Military Chief Military Balance 2009 You just heard about china's military buildup and capabilities, and when you compare defense budgets, here's something else. According to the International Institute for Strategic Studies, the U.S. budget for last year was $693 billion, the defense budget. China's a mere fraction of that, at about $61 billion. Take a look at this. China has more active troops, almost 2.2 million, compared to almost 1.6 million active troops for the U.S.
  • 27 Oct 2009 - - IISS Press Release - The IISS Announces 6th Regional Security Summit: The Manama Dialogue Manama Dialogue 2009The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) is pleased to announce that the 6th Regional Security Summit: The Manama Dialogue will take place from 11 to 13 December 2009 in Bahrain.
  • 27 Oct 2009 - - Financial Times- Miliband warns on choice for European president The Rt Hon David Miliband, MP, Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs addresses the IISS on "EU Foreign Policy After Lisbon" In a speech to the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London, Mr Miliband said: "The choice for Europe is simple: get our act together and make the EU a leader on the world stage or become spectators in a G2 world shaped by the US and China." Mr Miliband said the EU's foreign policy was blighted by confused messages, patchy co-ordination and relationships with global powers that lacked "clarity, strategy or purpose". "It is very strongly in the British national interest for the EU to dev
  • 27 Oct 2009 - - Independent - Mr Miliband makes a strong case The Rt Hon David Miliband, MP, Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs addresses the IISS on "EU Foreign Policy After Lisbon" David Miliband yesterday delivered the kind of speech that is too seldom heard in British politics; a speech that made a strong and unambiguous case for a greater role for the European Union on the global stage. As the Foreign Secretary argued, it is in Britain's "national interest" to see the EU develop a strong foreign policy.
  • 27 Oct 2009 - - Guardian - Blair's European bid: Don't mention the war The Rt Hon David Miliband, MP, Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs addresses the IISS on "EU Foreign Policy After Lisbon" David Miliband yesterday made a comprehensive case for the role the EU can play on the world stage. He is right to argue that the EU does not get commensurate value for its provision of 40% of the UN's budget, almost two-thirds of the world's development assistance, 2 million men under arms, and 40,000 diplomats. Perhaps his speech was an extended job application for the post of foreign policy chief, for which he would be well suited. Yes, he voted for the Iraq war, but was not instrumental in the decision-
  • 27 Oct 2009 - - Independent - David Miliband: this is my ambition for Europe The Rt Hon David Miliband, MP, Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs addresses the IISS on "EU Foreign Policy After Lisbon" n the most pro-European speech by a British foreign secretary, Mr Miliband warned that the EU – and Britain – risks becoming marginalised by a Chinese-American "G2" elite unless its 27 members dropped their differences to develop a vigorous common international policy. His message contrasts with predecessors' emphasis on the so-called "special relationship" between Britain and the United States. Hours after Mr Miliband set out his vision of a more unified continent punching above its weight around the globe
  • 27 Oct 2009 - - Independent - Britain, Europe and a history of lamentable mis-timing The Rt Hon David Miliband, MP, Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs addresses the IISS on "EU Foreign Policy After Lisbon" How far this reassessment of Britain's relations with the outside world was reflected in the front ranks of government, as opposed to the corridors of power, was nonetheless hard to gauge. Until yesterday, that is, when the Foreign Secretary, David Miliband, gave one of the most Europhile – and least Atlanticist – speeches ever delivered to a British audience by any minister since Labour took office 12 years ago. Setting the scene for Britain to enact its foreign policy primarily through the EU, Mr Milib
