The forthcoming official visit to Moscow by David Miliband MP, Britain's foreign secretary, at the invitation of his counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, could be of considerable significance.

Milband's trip, the first official visit by a British foreign secretary to Moscow in five years, could restore troubled UK-Russian relations. The visit is an opportunity for Britain and Russia to show that there are areas where they can co-operate - on Afghanistan, Iran and policy towards the Middle East.
