(AFP) UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his counterpart in Tirana Edi Rama on Thursday agreed to do more to stem the flow of Albanians making small-boat crossings of the Channel.
Albanians are now the largest single group among record numbers of migrants attempting the journey from northern France, which has put pressure on the government in London.
Sunak “acknowledged the positive contribution of the Albanian community to life in the UK,” Downing Street said.
But both leaders agreed that “more needed to be done to address illegal migration,” a readout of the leaders’ telephone conversation added.
