French President Francois Hollande has thanked President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner for her support after the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack.
“I thank you for the message of sympathy, solidarity and fraternity that you sent me when France was touched in the heart by an aggression of inenarrable horror,” Hollande wrote in a letter sent to Ms Kirchner.
“The authority of the State and democracy were hurt by that hateful act. Democracy is freedom of expression, freedom of thought, freedom to create; it is also pluralism and diversity,” the letter goes on.
Hollande said France will not surrender to “obscurantism” and added he will personally continue to promote, both nationally and worldwide, the values of liberty, tolerance, justice and peace.
“Thanking you again for your support, I beg you accept, Ms President, my highest consideration,” the letter ends.
