Move comes after France cuts back visas for nationals of Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia over immigration policy.
Algeria has summoned the French ambassador to the country following a pledge by Paris to slash the number of visas available to nationals from Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia.
In a statement on Wednesday, Algeria’s foreign ministry said Ambassador Francois Gouyette had been summoned “to notify him a formal protest … following the unilateral decision of the French government”.
The statement added that “this decision was taken without prior consultation with the Algerian side, which calls into question its reasons and backgrounds.”
