British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is set to meet with Italian counterpart Giorgia Meloni in Rome to discuss the ongoing issue of illegal immigration. This comes in the wake of another tragic incident in the English Channel, where eight lives were lost in a migrant shipwreck.
Starmer, who leads the centre-left Labour party, has made it a priority to address illegal immigration in the UK, a divisive and longstanding issue in British politics. With his recent surge in popularity and parliamentary majority, he is looking to tackle this issue head-on.
The meeting between Starmer and Meloni is expected to focus on cooperation between the two countries in dealing with illegal immigration, as well as finding solutions to prevent further tragedies like the recent shipwreck. Both leaders will likely discuss border controls, humanitarian efforts, and ways to address root causes of migration.
As illegal immigration continues to be a pressing concern for both the UK and Italy, this meeting holds significant importance in finding concrete solutions to this complex issue. Stay tuned for updates on the outcome of this crucial discussion between the two leaders.
