The Libyan Interior Minister, Emad al-Tarabelsi, on Monday called on the European Union and the countries affected by illegal migration flows from Libya to provide effective support to the North African country against illegal migration.



Al-Tarabelsi made his remarks during a meeting in the capital Tripoli with Ambassadors and Charges d'Affaires of the European Union and African Union embassies in Libya, as well as representatives of the European Union Delegation, the International Organization for Migration, and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, said a statement issued by the Interior Ministry published on its official Facebook page.



The minister noted that Libya will not bear the burden of illegal migration alone and will never become a settlement zone (for migrants), warning that the continued uncontrolled flow of migrants will exacerbate the security and social situation, not only in Libya but across the entire region.
