The meeting of the Minister of Migration and Asylum, Mr. Thanou Plevris, with the ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany in Athens, Mr. Andreas Kindl, took place today.

During the meeting, the Minister informed the German ambassador in detail on all aspects of the new bill on illegal immigration, which was recently put into public consultation.

Mr Plevris emphasized that the implementation of a strict immigration policy from Greece will not only help our country, but is actively contributing to the formation of a single European response to increasing migratory pressures.

Mr Kindl expressed Germany’s strong interest in Greece’s new political approach and emphasized the importance of dialogue and cooperation between EU Member States in order to effectively address the common challenges.

The two sides agreed to the need to strengthen Greece -Germany cooperation, in particular in the field of third -country nationals without the right to stay, as well as the continuation of the exchange of know -how and best practices.
