The five Mediterranean countries that constitute Europe’s southern border and that make the most efforts in immigration asked the European Union to stop its policies from being basically “reactive”, to include more efforts in preventing flows at origin and returns.
The club made up of Italy, Greece, Cyprus, Malta and Spain, called MED-5, held yesterday Saturday on the Spanish island of Gran Canaria (Atlántico) its first meeting since the European Parliament gave its approval this month to the new Pact of Migration and Asylum and the first in its history (there are six precedents) that calls outside the Mediterranean.
China reaffirmed its presence in the Pacific this weekend with the visit to Papua New Guinea of its Foreign Minister, Wang Yi, which reinforced cooperation with the oceanic country while emphasizing that this region should not be the scene of confrontation between the great powers.
Yi, who meets this Sunday with the Papuan Prime Minister, James Marapee, held an interview on Saturday with his counterpart, Justin Tkachenko, after which he assured at a press conference that both countries will begin talks to sign a free trade agreement. .
