US Secretary of State John Kerry said on Friday that he wanted to "share a hug" with all French citizens, following the extremist attacks in the French capital last week.
"I really wanted to come here and share a hug with all of Paris and all of France. I wanted to express to you personally the sheer horror and revulsion that all Americans felt for the cowardly and despicable act, the assault on innocent lives and our fundamental values," Kerry said.
He made the comments alongside the Mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo.
Before addressing the media, the two observed a minute of silence in honour of the 17 victims of last week's attacks in Paris.
Earlier on Friday, Kerry met French President Francois Hollande and Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius before visiting the sites of the attacks, offering silent prayers and laying wreaths to honour the dead.
