Migration continues to be a global hot topic from China to Ukraine and from South America to Africa. On World Refugee Day 2022, US Assistant Secretary for Population, Refugees, and Migration Julieta Valls Noyes briefs the Foreign Press from Washington D.C. She reiterated the United States’ commitment to addressing the challenge.
"We encourage host governments to provide durable solutions for refugees including by enabling local integration, granting citizenship and including refugees in their development plans."
"... self reliance benefits the refugees and the donors and the hosts especially as conflicts are becoming longer lasting and displacement continues to rise."
"Wherever they are, whoever they are, wherever it is really, believe that refugees have the right, and we as responsible countries have the responsibility to help them seek safety."
