The call from the Iraqi Foreign Ministry comes after the Egyptian government confirmed its top envoy to Iraq had been killed there.
Earlier, Al-Qaeda said it had killed Ihab al-Sharif in a statement posted on an Internet website. Al-Sharif was kidnapped in Baghdad on 2 July.
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak insisted his country will continue to support Iraq.
Iraqi President Jalal Talabani called for a "war of annihilation" against Al-Qaeda and other groups that include foreign Islamic extremists.
UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan condemned the killing of the Egyptian diplomat, calling it a "callous act" that cannot be justified.
