G7 Talks Focus on Security and Migration

Published: 2024-10-03

The G7 Interior Ministers' meeting in Mirabella Eclano, Avellino, has commenced with significant discussions on international security and migration policies.

Italian Minister Piantedosi addressed the challenges posed by unauthorized demonstrations linked to the anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel.

The meeting also highlighted Europe's increasing focus on externalizing asylum requests, particularly for migrants from 'safe countries,' as part of the new Asylum and Immigration Pact set to be implemented in 2024. This approach aims to streamline border procedures and enhance security across the continent.

The discussions reflect a broader European trend towards tightening national borders amidst growing geopolitical tensions.
