Rasmussen eyeing German migration deals

The German government has been proactive in the area of migration, negotiating agreements aimed at easing the recruitment of foreign labor—developments closely monitored by Denmark’s Foreign Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen, reports Berlingske. Recent deals with countries like Kenya obligate them to accept their citizens who are residing illegally in Germany. Similar agreements have been forged with India, Georgia, and Morocco, and Chancellor Olaf Scholz is expected to sign a comparable agreement with Uzbekistan. Løkke, an advocate for a similar model, underscores the need to combat illegal migration and attract foreign labor to secure the welfare state. These treaties are key to the German coalition government’s policy, focusing on 225,000 migrants currently in Germany who are required to leave the country, amidst ongoing negotiations with nations such as Moldova and the Philippines.
