The UK is convening an international meeting with over 40 nations to address the escalating crisis of illegal migration and people-smuggling. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer plans to emphasize the need for cohesive international efforts in this domain and to advocate for defeating the "vile trade" of human trafficking. The summit aims to produce actionable results, including a £33 million investment to disrupt smuggling networks. Delegates from countries like Vietnam and Iraq, alongside key organizations, will discuss strategies to confront this growing concern, which is heavily affecting UK immigration policies and public resources.
"The UK government is firmly committed to tackling illegal immigration and believes that cross-border co-operation is essential to disrupt the vicious cycle of people smuggling."
"The summit aims to deliver tangible outcomes that enhance international partnerships to address the organized crime involved in human trafficking and irregular migration."
