Al-Huweij also commented on the issue of refugees in his country. He noted that Libya welcomes African citizens if they are there legally, but the number of illegal migrants is growing, and international cooperation is needed to address this issue.
He strongly rejected the European approach to security, stating that Libya refuses to "act as police for anyone" and opposes any attempts to settle migrants in the country.
