Interior Minister Constantinos Ioannou is traveling to Logrono, Spain where he is set to discuss the migration crisis along with procedures surrounding asylum, with his EU counterparts.

In a statement on Wednesday, the ministry said Ioannou would be participating at the Informal Council of EU Home Affairs Ministers on Thursday.

The discussion will centre around managing migration crises, and simplifying procedures in the field of asylum and returns.
