Rwanda’s home secretary to ratify new asylum agreement

James Cleverly, a government official, is in Rwanda to make a new agreement with the country about where people who need protection can go.

The new rule will send some people seeking asylum to Rwanda to apply for asylum there. It was first talked about in April 2022.

The government wants to improve the treaty and create new laws to make sure its plan doesn’t face more legal problems.

The BBC was told that the new agreement might mean British lawyers will work in Rwandan courts to help with the concerns of the Supreme Court.

Before he left for his trip, Cleverly said that Rwanda is a safe country. He also said he wants to stop people from crossing the English Channel in small boats.

The UK government gave £140m to Rwanda for the plan, but no migrants have gone there yet.
