France's Fabius says fight against Islamic State long-term

"We reaffirmed our unity and common determination to fight Islamic State, but we recognize it is a long-term battle," he told a news conference.

He said Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi had also vowed to reconcile all strands of the country's society.

Speaking alongside Fabius and U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry's deputy Antony Blinken, Abadi said: "We can make sacrifices to fight Islamic State but the international coalition has to support us."
