<p>We have a long standing and strong relationship with Greece and are committed to
supporting Greece's efforts to manage migration effectively. On 22 April, the UK
and Greece signed a bilateral migration action plan to reaffirm our commitment to
cooperation and to establish a strategic migration dialogue. The Plan includes a
UK-Greece exchange of expertise on asylum and returns processes and organised immigration
crime. This also forms part of our regional and international cooperation response,
as part of a 'whole of route' approach to tackling the challenges of, and risks posed
by, irregular migration. For example, our co-operation with Turkey is key to effectively
managing migratory flows and preventing people risking their lives while attempting
to cross the Aegean. We are actively engaging to help shape the international response
on migration further up the route, working through an increasingly diverse set of
partners and source and transit countries.</p>
