G7 Nations Launch Anti-Smuggling Action Plan to Combat Migrant Trafficking

The UK and G7 countries agree on enhanced international cooperation to dismantle people-smuggling networks and improve border security.

The G7 Anti-Smuggling Action Plan involves deploying international crime-fighting teams to target people-smuggling gangs in migration hotspots.
The plan includes joint investigations and intelligence sharing among G7 countries to disrupt smuggling networks and improve migrant flow management.
UK Home Secretary Yvette Cooper emphasized the importance of international law enforcement collaboration to tackle the dangers posed by smuggling gangs.
Efforts will focus on working with social media companies to remove content that promotes illegal migration services.
The plan aims to increase both voluntary and enforced returns of migrants to their countries of origin, enhancing overall border security.
