Investing.com -- France has announced plans to react to Algeria’s recent decision to expel 15 French officials, a move the French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot has labeled as "unjustified." The deterioration in relations between the two nations continues to deepen.
Algeria’s press agency, APS, reported on Monday that France’s charge d’affaires was notified about the impending expulsion of 15 French diplomatic agents, who were said to be in irregular positions.
Foreign Minister Barrot addressed reporters in Normandy, expressing his disapproval of the decision. He stated, "The departure of agents on temporary missions is unjustified and as I did last month, we will respond immediately and in a strong and proportionate manner."
Barrot further expressed his regret over the decision, stating that it does not serve the interests of either Algeria or France. He refrained from providing additional details on the response that will be forthcoming from Paris.
