Attack in Nice a 'tragic paradox': European Council

July 15, 2016 09:12

European Council president Donald Tusk today described as a "tragic paradox" that at least 80 people were killed in Nice when French people were celebrating "liberty, equality and fraternity" -- the country's motto -- on its National Day.

Tusk shared a photograph of himself and other European and Asian leaders standing in tribute to the Nice victims at the Asia-Europe Meeting in Mongolian capital Ulaanbaatar.

"European and Asian leaders pay respect to victims of Nice attack. We stand united against violence and hatred," Tusk said in his speech at the ASEM.

"We condemn this tragedy and keep up our fight against extreme violence and hatred," Tusk added.
