French President François Hollande telephoned on Friday his Tunisian counterpart Beji Caid Essebsi to voice his country's condemnation of the terrorist attack that targeted the Tunisian resort city of Sousse.

In a press report, the Elysee Palace said that the two leaders expressed their determination to uproot terrorism through mutual cooperation.

A terrorist attack targeted two hotels in Tunisia earlier in the day, leaving 27 people killed and six others wounded.
