Ylva Johansson to visit Turkey in a fortnight to continue dialogue on migration

28/09/2021 (Agence Europe)The Commissioner for Home Affairs, Ylva Johansson, indicated on 28 September in Cyprus that she would be going “to Turkey in a fortnight's time” to “relaunch” the “high-level dialogue on migration” with Ankara in order to work, in particular, on the issues of preventing irregular migration, both to the EU and to Turkey. This high-level dialogue had been damaged by the events of early 2020, when Ankara brought migrants and refugees to the border with Greece. “Things have changed, the situation has improved since then”, the Commissioner said, hoping that this re-launch of the dialogue would enable “finding common ground” on the issue of illegal immigration. The Commissioner had already visited Ankara in May to explore the possibilities of making progress on this migration dialogue (see EUROPE 12715/24). (SP)
