Nov 01, 2022
Athens [Greece], November 1: King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands called for a European solution to the migration challenge at the start of his three-day official visit to Greece on Monday.
"It is an issue that concerns all of Europe and therefore we should solve it together," he said after his meeting with Greek President Katerina Sakellaropoulou.
Also on Monday, four migrants were rescued after their boat capsized off Greece's Samos Island in the Aegean Sea, the Hellenic Coast Guard said in a press release.
A rescue operation was still underway late on Monday to locate the six other people who were also on board the dinghy.
More than one million people have illegally entered Greece since 2015. Most of them have continued their journey to other European countries, but hundreds have drowned at sea, according to the Greek authorities.
