France plans to go ahead with a global climate change summit in Paris at the end of the month, the prime minister said on Saturday, despite a wave of deadly attacks on Friday night that killed 127 people in the capital.

 

The conference "will be held because it's an essential meeting for humanity," Prime Minister Manuel Valls told TF1 television on Saturday evening.

 

He said the summit would also be an opportunity for world leaders to show their solidarity with France after the attacks.

 

About 118 world leaders are expected to attend the opening day of the Nov. 30-Dec. 11 conference, which is due to nail down a global deal to limit rising greenhouse gas emissions.

 

In Washington, officials confirmed that both U.S. President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry still planned to attend.
