Terrorism will be one of the pressing issues that French President François Hollande will discuss with President Benigno Aquino 3rd this week.
Presidential Communications Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. said Aquino and Hollande will exchange views on terrorism, “such as what happened involving Charlie Hebdo in Paris that claimed the lives of 20 people.”
The two leaders will also urge world leaders to finalize a climate change pact when they meet in December, he said.
France is hosting the 21st meeting of the Conference of Parties (COP21) in Paris in December 2015. About 40,000 stakeholders are expected to attend COP21.
Hollande will be in the Philippines from February 26 to 27. The state visit is the first by an incumbent President of France since the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1947, Coloma said.
Upon arrival, Hollande will proceed to Luneta Park to lay a wreath in honor of Jose Rizal.
The French president will be accompanied by a delegation of over 100 officials, celebrities and journalists.
