The Sudanese government condemned on Saturday an attack on a French police patrol near the Louvre Museum in Paris.

"The incident constitutes a crime that contradicts all humanitarian values and principles," said Sudan's Foreign Ministry in a statement.

The ministry expressed Sudan's full solidarity with France, and reiterated its support for France to take whatever measures to preserve security and safety of its citizens in the face of terrorist and criminal acts.

The ministry also urged the international community to intensify joint efforts to confront terrorist activities.

On Friday, the French police shot a man who tried to break into the Louvre Museum with a bag of suspected explosive materials.
