Members of the European Council on Thursday strongly condemned the terrorist attack in France’s city of Nice, calling it an attack on the European Union’s shared values.

“We, European leaders, are shocked and saddened by the terrorist attacks in France. We condemn in the strongest possible terms these attacks which represent attacks on our shared values,” they said in a joint statement.

“We stand united and firm in our solidarity with France, with the French people and the Government of France – in our common and continued fight against terrorism and violent extremism,” the statement read.

In the joint statement, the members also called on leaders around the world to work towards dialogue and understanding among communities and religions rather than division.
