In a crucial speech at the Global Investment Summit here on Monday, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak advocated strongly for talented migrant workers, despite rising pressure on his government to reduce soaring immigration figures.
The British Indian leader lauded the country’s “most competitive visa regime,” which makes it the best place in the world to invest and do business.
His intervention comes amid discontent within his own Conservative Party following last week’s Office for National Statistics (ONS) data revealing record-high annual migration to the country, with former home secretary Suella Braverman’s allies blaming Downing Street.
