Norway seeks to establish migrant return agreement with Eritrea
Norway is in contact with Eritrean authorities to discuss a return agreement for Eritrean migrants, according to media reports.
Secretary Himanshu Gulati (FRP) in the Ministry of Justice and Public Security has recently returned from a trip to Eritrea, where he held meetings with government officials.
"I have had several meetings with the Government of Eritrea on the return issue. The Eritreans are currently the largest group of asylum seekers to Norway and we have over 500 exit mandatory Eritreans in Norwegian asylum centers. It is important to have good mechanisms to return these (migrants)", said Gulati.
He added no agreement with Eritrea is ready yet, but talks will continue.
"I was welcomed, experienced a positive attitude and had constructive talks. We will continue with new talks in the near future", said Gulati.
