Your support makes all the difference.David Cameron will meet Francois Hollande in Paris to discuss how to work together against Isis in the wake of the Paris attacks.
The Prime Minister is due to meet Mr Hollande in the French capital a little over a week since 130 people were killed in multiple attacks orchestrated by Isis, also known as the Islamic State.
It comes as the United Nation’s Security Council issued a resolution to “redouble” action against the “unprecedented” threat to international security posed by the terror group.
Mr Hollande, who in the days following the attack declared that France was “at war” with Isis, will also meet Russian President Vladimir Putin, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and US President Barack Obama, in a week of diplomacy.
The PM, who described the vote as a demonstration of the “breadth of international support” against Isis, will no doubt hope the move will bolster support among British MPs for air strikes against Isis positions in Syria.
While Mr Cameron’s officials have refused to be drawn into a “timetable” for strikes, a Conservative cabinet minister told the Daily Telegraph earlier this week: “We are going to war.”
