Szijjarto calls on EU to change 'misguided' Africa policy

Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto on Friday called on the European Union to change its "misguided" Africa policy and start focusing on helping people to stay in their homelands rather than encouraging migration. Szijjarto told an informal meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brest, in north-western France, that the measures so far had led to "migration waves increasing in the past years". The EU should therefore focus on ensuring optimal circumstances for potential migrants to stay in their homelands, he said.
