Hollande: French resolve to act on world stage bolstered by attacks

Deadly Islamist attacks on France only reinforce its resolve to act on the international stage, intervening in world hotspots and using its diplomatic weight to help solve crises, President Francois Hollande said on Friday. France, a permanent UN Security Council member and nuclear power, has thousands of troops hunting down al-Qaeda-linked militants in Africa's Sahel-Sahara region and is part of the US-led coalition striking Islamic State fighters in Iraq.

 

It is a key player in diplomacy ranging from the Iranian nuclear negotiations to brokering a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians.
