"The European Union will remain a reliable and constructive partner to the UN. And we are stepping up our engagement, by enhancing our support to host countries and the UN system. We will continue aligning our political, operational and financial tools to strengthen protection, foster self-reliance of host countries and contribute to durable, future-oriented solutions. We are committed to a Whole-of-Route and Comprehensive Approach to migration." Magnus Brunner, EU Commissioner for Internal Affairs and Migration
