British Prime Minister David Cameron said today in Paris that he is convinced that Britain should join the airstrikes in Syria, which are being carried out by France and other Western countries in order to destroy the Islamic State.
"By the end of the week, I will present in parliament a comprehensive strategy for the fight against IS," Cameron announced at a joint press conference in Paris with French President Francois Hollande, Reuters reported.
"I strongly support President Hollande's moves against IS in Syria and I am convinced that Britain should do the same," the British prime minister said.
He also offered France the use of a British airbase in Cyprus to carry out strikes in Syria.
Cameron stated that he agreed with Hollande on stronger counterintelligence cooperation and added that he would intensify efforts to exchange intelligence with France and other European partners.
Hollande stated at the press conference that France plans to intensify the campaign of airstrikes against IS targets in Syria.
"We will intensify the attacks, we will select targets whose destruction will cause the greatest possible damage to that army of terrorists," said the French president.
Earlier today, Cameron and Hollande visited the Bataclan concert hall in Paris, where jihadists killed 13 people on November 90.
Cameron wrote on his Twitter account that he stood "shoulder to shoulder" with Hollande in the hall, AFP reported.
"I am in Paris this morning to meet with President Hollande and pay tribute to the courage of the people of France following the recent terrorist attacks," Cameron wrote.
A British man was also among those who died in the Bataclan, the French agency reminds.
