The Iraqi foreign ministry spokesman Ahmed Al-Sahaf on Monday announced summoning three European ambassadors as well as the Canadian ambassador to Iraq, to protest a joint statement they issued the previous day.

The ambassadors of France, Britain, Canada and Germany were all summoned, Sahaf said.

Sahaf added that their joint statement represented a rejected interference in the domestic affairs of Iraq and a clear violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.
