LISBON (Reuters) - Portugal's foreign minister told Britain on Thursday it should keep its doors open to "construction workers and waiters" as well as high-end professional migrants after it leaves the European Union.

"I've had the opportunity to tell the home secretary that Portugal doesn't have a segmented view on people's movement," Augusto Santos Silva said when asked about Britain's plans to prioritise highly-skilled European migrants after Brexit.
