Algeria, Libya, and Tunisia have agreed to develop a common approach to border development as part of efforts to tackle irregular migration.
This came during a quadripartite meeting held in the Italian capital, Rome, last Thursday, chaired by Italian Interior Minister Matteo Piantidosi, and attended by Interior Minister of the Libyan Government of National Unity Imad Trabelsi, Tunisian Interior Minister Kamel al-Feki, and Algerian Interior Minister, Ibrahim Mourad.
During the meeting, Murad called for working to “overcome the restrictive approach that is limited to operational, security and administrative measures to confront the phenomenon of irregular migration,” calling for a focus on deeply addressing the actual and root causes of the growth of irregular migration by adopting comprehensive and equitable proposals, and effective, effective, and humane solutions.
“This sober proposal was the focus of discussions held by Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune with his Tunisian counterpart Kais Saied and the recently exiled head of the Libyan Presidential Council, Mohamed Younes,” Mourad said.
During the meeting, the ministers agreed to “develop a participatory approach aimed at developing border areas and unifying visions and positions on the issue of migration in the region.”
For his part, the Italian minister urged the countries of the region to confront clandestine immigration convoys, stressing that strengthening the stability of land borders must be a strategic priority.
During the meeting, information was exchanged to combat criminal networks that manage trafficking in human beings, and the tasks of implementing some of the operational objectives to work on them, in particular the strengthening of the strategy for assistance to voluntary repatriation, were shared.
