UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni hold a joint press conference in Rome, discussing strategies to address the migrant crisis affecting both nations. Starmer expresses interest in Italy's agreement with Albania to process asylum claims, a potential alternative to the UK's scrapped Rwanda deportation plan. The meeting comes a day after eight migrants died attempting to cross the English Channel, highlighting the urgency of the issue. Italy has seen a 60% reduction in migrant arrivals in 2024 compared to 2023, thanks to deals with countries like Tunisia and Libya. Starmer and Meloni also discuss support for Ukraine and post-Brexit relations with the EU, as part of Starmer's efforts to reset ties with European neighbors. The press conference underscores the importance of international cooperation in tackling the complex challenges of irregular migration.
