PARIS (Reuters) - President Emmanuel Macron said on Friday that France's military would continue its fight against lslamic State in Syria, but that the fall of the militant group's bastion in Raqqa needed to lead to an inclusive political system to restore stability.
"The battle against Islamic State did not end with the fall of Raqqa and France will maintain its military effort as long as necessary," Macron's office said in a statement. "The challenges of stabilisation and reconstruction will not be less than those of the military campaign."
