Importance of Cooperation
The security situation in parts of West Africa and the Sahel region has become worse in recent years because of militant groups and political problems. Irregular migration from the region to North Africa and Europe is also a big concern.
The commitment to discuss solutions for irregular migrants is also important. With careful planning and cooperation, they may find ways to resolve this complex human issue properly while following international laws.
