Hundreds of French citizens in Japan attended a rally at the French Embassy in Tokyo on Sunday, with French Ambassador Thierry Dana urging them to remain united in the fight against terrorism.
The rally was attended by Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga, the government's top spokesman, as well as Tokyo Gov. Yoichi Masuzoe.
"We have been strongly shocked and feel indignant" over the "inhuman and despicable acts," Suga said in a meeting with Dana earlier in the day.
