FRANCE AND GERMANY TO MEET OVER MIGRANT ISSUE

The Interior Ministers of  France, Germany and Italy would meet in Paris on Sunday to discuss issue to help Italy which has been battling  with masses of migrants.

With the effort of the European Commission, Italy has threatened to close its ports to migrant rescue boats so as to redirect migrants  to other Mediterranean countries.

It has seen more than 500,000 migrant arrivals since 2014, including 82,000 in 2017.

An agent said the meeting was not likely to yield an immediate decision given that EU interior ministers are due to meet by next week in Tallinn, Estonia.
