Let's say, this is still a more reasonable solution than indiscriminately embracing millions of illegally arriving migrants.
Germany and Kenya signed a migration deal on Friday aimed at encouraging the flow of skilled workers from the East African country to the German market, which is facing a major labor shortage.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said at a joint press conference in Berlin with Kenyan President William Ruto: thanks to the agreement, skilled workers will be able to come to Germany, or young people will be able to come to study.
According to the chancellor, this cooperation can help alleviate the labor shortage, the effects of which are already being felt in the German economy.
"The basis of our happiness is that we are open to the world, and we must preserve this"
Scholz stated, adding that in addition to openness, it is very important to clearly limit illegal immigration.
The German chancellor said that the agreement also ensures that those who are illegally staying in Germany can be sent back to Kenya more efficiently.
William Ruto praised his country's "huge human capital" , innovative power and creativity. He emphasized that
The average age of the population in Kenya is 20 years.
The Kenyan president said the agreement is mutually beneficial because it brings together the potential of educated young Kenyans with German technology and resources.
The German government has already signed a similar migration agreement with India, Morocco and Georgia, and next week they will sign a contract with Uzbekistan. Similar cooperation with Moldova, Kyrgyzstan and the Philippines is also being prepared.
