Paris summit a powerful rebuke to terrorists: Obama

November 25, 2015 10:43

The climate change summit in Paris next week is a "powerful rebuke" to terrorists and shows the global resolve to fight them, US President Barack Obama has said. Obama would be among the top world leaders who will attend the important global meet on climate change in Paris, the city which was rocked by Islamic State terror attacks earlier this month.

Obama saluted the people of Paris for showing the world how to stay strong in the face of terrorism. "Even as they grieve, Parisians have begun returning to their cafes, riding the metro, and going to stadiums to cheer for their teams. Crowds gather in the Place de la Republique, including a mother who brought her children -- she said, 'to let them see that we should not be afraid'," Obama said.

"As one Parisian said, 'Paris will always be Paris'," he said.
