The European Union (EU) needs to work more with African countries to tackle the arrival of migrants into Europe, France's prime minister said in an interview with a Greek newspaper on Thursday, Reuters news agency reports.

The EU, which struck a deal with Turkey to stem the arrival of undocumented migrants and refugees to Greece, has been scrambling for ways to shut down flows on the other major sea route into Europe from Libya as calmer weather begins.
French PM Manuel Valls was speaking ahead of a two-day visit to Greece:
We need to cooperate further with African countries of transit or of origin... I am referring in particular to Niger"
