Want to work with Meloni on migrants says Starmer

(ANSA) - ROME, SEP 16 - British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said ahead of a meeting with Giorgia Meloni in Rome Monday afternoon that he wanted to work with the Italian premier on migrant issues.
    "I will have a bilateral meeting with the Italian premier this afternoon, but we already have a common intention to work together against this dastardly trade of pushing people across borders", said Starmer, as reported by the Guardian, on his visit to an immigration coordination centre in Rome.
    "Here (in Italy) there have been quite drastic reductions.
    "So I want to understand how this happened.
    "It seems that this is due to the upstream work done in some of the countries where people are coming from.
    "I have long believed that preventing people from travelling is one of the best ways to tackle' the problem." (ANSA).
