The Minister of Migration and Asylum, Mr. Notis Mitarachi will be travelling tomorrow to Pakistan, where he will hold talks with the country's political leadership, so as to reinforce bilateral cooperation in the fight against illegal migration, and discuss important issues related to legal migration.
The goal of the Greek delegation is to promote opportunities for legal and orderly migration - especially seasonal workers - as a counterweight to the operation of smuggling networks.
Additionally, further ways to discourage illegal migration and to strengthen cooperation on the issue of returns of those not legally residing in Europe will be discussed.
Finally, issues related to cooperation between Pakistan and the European Union will be also part of the agenda.
