UK, Iraq Seal New Migration Cooperation Agreement
(MENAFN) Britain has formalized a new migration cooperation agreement with Iraq, the British government announced Wednesday, aimed at curbing unauthorized small boat crossings.
"This agreement aims to further deter small boat arrivals," the statement emphasized, adding that it "will establish formal processes to return those with no legal right to be in the UK swiftly."
British Security Minister Dan Jarvis praised the deal, stating, "By working together on security, development and migration challenges, we are building stronger relationships that benefit both our countries whilst tackling shared challenges like organised crime and irregular migration."
Data shows a drop in Iraqi nationals arriving in the UK via small boats, falling to 1,900 in the year ending March 2025, down from 2,600 the previous year, the government’s statement revealed.
