French FM: If we don't advance peace process, Islamic State will prosper

French FM Ayrault says the peace conference being planned by France is important as it can help stop the advance of the Islamic State terror group in the region.

“France has no vested interest, but is deeply convinced that if we don’t want to let the ideas of the Islamic State group prosper in this region, we must do something,” Ayrault tells reporters.
