Interior Minister Nikos Nouris is travelling today to Vilnius, Lithuania, to participate on 20-21 January in a European Conference on the management of external borders.
The Conference will deal exclusively with the issue of security at European borders, in the light of increasing migration flows, but also of recent developments and challenges regarding the instrumentalisation of irregular migration for political reasons by third countries.
The Conference is expected, inter alia, to discuss ways to address the migration challenges faced by Member States at land and maritime borders, as well as to explore ways to improve the return of third country nationals to their countries of origin.
During his stay in Vilnius, the Interior Minister will have, among others, bilateral contacts with his Lithuanian, Austrian and Danish counterparts, as well as with other European officials.
Mr. Nouris returns to Cyprus on Saturday morning.
