India pushes for inclusive migration, stronger anti-trafficking laws at UNGA

NEW YORK: (May 8) India endeavours to build an inclusive, humane, and future-ready framework for migration while addressing the challenges of irregular migration and trafficking, Union Minister Kirti Vardhan Singh has said at the United Nations General Assembly here.

Migration is ultimately about people, their aspirations, resilience, and contributions, Singh said at the plenary of the second International Migration Review Forum (IMRF) of the Global Compact for Migration (GCM) on Thursday.

We endeavour to build an inclusive, humane and future-ready framework, while addressing challenges such as irregular migration, trafficking and gaps in social protection, he said.
