Starting a two-day meeting in the Senegalese capital, senior officials from more than 50 countries of Europe and Africa worked on Tuesday on a joint action plan that foresees an integrated multinational strategy on migration. The plan, originally drafted by Morocco, Spain and France -- three countries in the front line of the immigration problem -- is due to be adopted by European and African ministers at a summit on migration in Rabat on July 10-11.
“This is a political initiative of the highest importance that aims to combine both managing migrant flows and managing development,” Alvaro Iranzo, a senior Spanish Foreign Ministry official, said.
