<p class="mol-para-with-font">Egyptian leader Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has told his people they should not expect the West to &#8216;open their doors&#8217; to migrants who refuse to integrate.<br />
President al-Sisi reminded a gathering of world youth that &#8216;every country has the right to protect its people and their interests.&#8217;<br />
Speaking at a World Youth Forum in Sharm-el-Sheikh, Egypt, the country&#8217;s leader told guests they had to &#8216;completely abide by the laws, customs, traditions and culture&#8217; of a country they moved to.<br />
His comments reported by U.S.-based research institute <a class="class" href="https://twitter.com/MEMRIReports/status/1073160233093132289?s=03" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">MEMRI</a>, were made last month at a global youth forum hosted by Egypt.<br />
President al-Sisi told the audience that the West could not be expected to accept migrants from countries who &#8216;fight amongst ourselves&#8217;.<br />
He said: &#8216;Every country has the right to protect its people and their interests. It must generally respect human rights in a framework that preserves its national interests.<br />

&#8216;Instead of asking me why countries [in the West] close their gates to us, you should ask yourself why the people of Afghanistan don&#8217;t take better care of their own country.<br />
&#8216;Why have they been killing one another for 40 years?<br />
This happens in other countries as well – in Pakistan, in Egypt, in Syria, in Libya, in Iraq, in Yemen, and in Somalia.<br />
&#8216;We fight amongst ourselves in our own countries, and then we expect countries that work day and night to achieve progress to protect their people and to maintain a certain standard of living for them – we demand that they let us in so we can have part of their [success].&#8217;<br />
al-Sisi, 64, the former army general who helped to oust democratically elected president Mohamed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood party in 2013, before taking the reins a later, told the audience that the leaders of &#8216;Germany, England, Italy or any other European country&#8217; would protect their borders &#8216;in order to protect the achievements of many long years&#8217;.<br />
He said: &#8216;Do you expect them to open their doors so that we can go there demanding to keep our own culture?</p>

<div class="mobile-gallery-icon">Egypt&#8217;s President ;Abdel Fattah al-Sisi emphasised the need for migrants to abide by laws and traditions in the country they moved to and should not expect the West to &#8216;open its doors&#8217;<br />
&#8216;We demand to keep our culture, which could be very different from the work ethic in those countries.<br />
&#8216;You demand to go there with your culture which you consider to be non-negotiable. You say, &#8220;this is how we are and you must accept us [because of] human rights&#8221;. No.<br />
&#8216;By the way, if you go to another country as a guest, you must completely abide by its laws, customs, traditions and culture. You must abide by them completely. If you are not willing to do this, don&#8217;t go.</div>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">&#8216;Don&#8217;t expect them to open the door for you so you can go into their country and cause trouble. No.&#8217;<br />
al-Sisi has previously held talks with German Chancellor Angela Merkel as Europe bids to resolve the migrant crisis.<br />
In October this year the two leaders met in Berlin at a summit designed to help reduce unemployment in Africa, in an effort to make migration less necessary.</p>
