Kerry in Paris AFTER peace march

January 16, 2015 18:26

US Secretary of State John Kerry made up for missing Sunday's Paris unity march with a visit to the capital to meet French officials and show American solidarity in the wake of the recent terror attacks, reports France24.

The march, held to commemorate the 17 victims of last week's three-day terror spree and to defend the values of tolerance and free speech, was attended by around 1.5 million people, including dozens of heads of state and top diplomats from around the world.

But the US came in for severe criticism from certain media for failing to send any senior officials to the march. It was instead represented by the country's ambassador to France, Jane Hartley.
