David Miliband has insisted that there should not be a boycott of this summer's Olympics in Beijing.
The Foreign Secretary has travelled to the Chinese capital to strengthen ties between Britain and its fellow United Nations Security Council member and close trading partner.
Speaking about the Olympics, Mr Miliband said: "I don't think a boycott is a good idea, I think countries should be fully competing."
When asked about China's poor record on human rights, Mr Miliband said: "We have our own values about human rights and we'll express them in private and in public."
It wasn't all work: the Foreign Secretary also found time to pose for photos at the Great Wall of China.
