Egypt's President has told his people they should not expect the West to 'open their doors' to migrants who refuse to integrate.
Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said that 'every country has the right to protect its people and their interests.'
Speaking at a World Youth Forum in Sharm-el-Sheikh, Egypt, the country's leader told guests they had to 'completely abide by the laws, customs, traditions and culture' of a country they moved to.
His comments came last month but have only now been reported by U.S.-based research institute MEMRI.
The Egyptian President told the audience that the West could not be expected to allow in people from countries who 'fight amongst ourselves'.
He said: '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.
'Instead of asking me why countries [in the West] close their gates to us, you should ask yourself why the people of Afghanistan don't take better care of their own country.
'Why have they been killing one another for 40 years?
This happens in other countries as well – in Pakistan, in Egypt, in Syria, in Libya, in Iraq, in Yemen, and in Somalia.
'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].'
Sisi, 64, told the audience they that the leaders of 'Germany, England, Italy or any other European country' would protect their borders 'in order to protect the achievements of many long years'.
He said: 'Do you expect them to open their doors so that we can go there demanding to keep our own culture?

'We demand to keep our culture, which could be very different from the work ethic in those countries.
'You demand to go there with your culture which you consider to be non-negotiable. You say, 'this is how we are and you must accept us [because of] human rights'. No.
'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't go.
'Don't expect them to open the door for you so you can go into their country and cause trouble. No.'
Sisi took power in 2014, after helping to remove the Muslim Brotherhood-backed president Mohamed Morsi the previous year.
He has previously held talks with German Chancellor Angela Merkel as Europe bids to resolve the migrant crisis.
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.

Speaking at a World Youth Forum ...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
