Hollande to hold bilateral with Nigeria’s Buhari whilst in Malta

On the margins of the Commonwealth Summit taking place in Malta, France’s President Francois Hollande will hold two important bilateral meetings with Nigeria’s Muhammadu Buhari and Pakistan’s Muhammad Nawaz Sharif.

Following Paris’s deadly attack, Hollande is on a mission to tackle global terrorism. According to international media, the French government has declared readiness to synergise with the Armed Forces to tackle global terrorism.

France Director of Mili­tary Intelligence, General Christophe Gomer said most terror­ist attacks were not anticipat­ed and the phenomenon of global terrorism was gradu­ally catching up with all na­tions that were napping.

“It’s something we did not prepare for, including developing countries like Nigeria,” he said. “We have to evolve new ways of tackling them, stamp them out of exis­tence.”
