We are in close touch with the Greek Government on migration issues and the UK Government remains committed to supporting Greece's efforts to manage migration effectively. Greece has rejected allegations of conducting pushback operations against migrant vessels seeking to reach its territory. We urge all those involved to?uphold?international?human rights standards in respect?of migrants and?to avoid any actions that may endanger human life.
