TIRANA, May 15/ATA/ Prime Minister of Great Britain Keir Starmer stated today during a joint press conference with Prime Minister Edi Rama that the cooperation between the two countries has led to a dramatic reduction in illegal immigration figures, by almost 94%.
“What we discussed was the effectiveness of bilateral cooperation in the course of these two-three years that have led to a dramatic reduction in the figures, from 12 thousand illegal emigrants to 600 in 2024, that is, 94% less. We discussed how this work through this joint team can be extended to other countries in the region and how we can make this work more effective. We discussed how to work together on issues of other cross-border criminal activities and how our team can share not only operational elements, but also intelligence information”, said Starmer.
According to the British prime minister, this particular model has been the most effective, while he and PM Rama think alike in the sense that they prefer not to talk about the problem and beat about the bush from time to time, but to roll up their sleeves, work and solve it.
“This is the purpose of the task force, an operational body. And in fact, it is a work that we are quite willing to support in order to set an example for others”, Starmer affirmed. /j.p/p.s./
