The United Kingdom has brokered a landmark agreement with Vietnam aimed at addressing illegal migration concerns, described as Hanoi's most robust deal with any nation. The arrangement is intended to streamline procedures for repatriating individuals who possess no legal standing in the UK.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer emphasized the effectiveness of international collaboration in his statement. 'The number of illegal arrivals from Vietnam has been reduced by half, but further efforts are necessary,' he asserted.

Starmer further noted that the new agreement highlights the benefits of working cooperatively on a global scale, rather than relying on unilateral approaches. This initiative is seen as instrumental in reinforcing the UK’s immigration strategy.
