Prime Minister will tell European leaders at a summit in Moldova they must cooperate to solve the migration crisis and it must always be ‘top of the agenda’ 🔎 Big Read by singharj
But the Prime Minister faces warnings that his efforts to boost European cooperation on asylum risk failing to deliver meaningful action unless the UK agrees to take in far more asylum seekers than even the tens of thousands of migrants that arrive on its shores now.
Mr Sunak appears to recognise this. Government briefings following his agreement with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in May for closer cooperation between UK agencies and Frontex, the EU border agency, suggested it could pave the way for cooperating on returns of asylum seekers, although it is not on the agenda for the EPC summit.
“In every meeting, every summit, every international gathering like this, the security of our borders must be top of the agenda.” “Any arrangement of this nature would be unlikely to result in the UK seeing a smaller number of asylum seekers. The EPC will be Mr Sunak’s second European summit in a little over two weeks at which he has called for cooperation on the migration crisis, and his re-engagement is seen as a sign of a reset in relations with the EU following the Brexit deal on Northern Ireland.spoke to warns that any agreement struck between members states may not necessarily include the UK now it has left.
