Johannesburg (South Africa), 22 Nov. (LaPresse) – "We reaffirm our commitment to supporting migrants, including migrant workers and refugees, in our efforts towards a more inclusive world, in line with national policies, legislation and circumstances, ensuring full respect for their human rights and fundamental freedoms, regardless of their migration status. We also recognise the importance of preventing irregular migration flows and migrant smuggling, as part of a comprehensive approach to safe, orderly and regular migration, while addressing humanitarian needs and the root causes of displacement. We support the strengthening of cooperation between countries of origin, transit and destination. We will continue the dialogue on migration and forced displacement during future presidencies'. This is stated in paragraph 115 of the Leaders' Declaration adopted at the G20 in Johannesburg and published on the website of the South African Department of International Relations and Cooperation.
