- Algeria's foreign ministry said the French ambassador had been summoned "to notify him a formal protest”
PARIS: Algeria has summoned the French ambassador following the French government’s pledge to slash the number of visas available to nationals from Maghreb countries.
The French government’s move is in response to North African governments’ refusal to take back illegal migrants sent home by French authorities.
Algeria’s foreign ministry said in a statement that the French ambassador had been summoned “to notify him a formal protest ...following the unilateral decision of the French government.”
The move had previously been reported by BFM television.
