British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Monday took a strong stance in favour of skilled migrant workers in a key speech at the Global Investment Summit here amid mounting pressure on his government to bring down soaring immigration statistics.
The British Indian leader vehemently praised the country’s “most competitive visa regime”, making it the best in the world to invest and do business in.
His intervention comes against the backdrop of discontent within his own Conservative Party ranks after last week’s Office for National Statistics (ONS) data revealed record-high annual migration to the country and former home secretary Suella Braverman’s allies laid the blame squarely at Downing Street’s door.
