John Kerry will travel to Paris this week to show solidarity with the French people, following criticism that the Obama administration did not send a senior official to Sunday's unity rally.

Some 40 world leaders and more than a million people attended the rally in the French capital after three days of violence that began with attacks on satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and left 17 people dead.

Responding to criticism about the lack of a senior official at the march, Mr Kerry said: "I really think that this is sort of quibbling a little bit."

"Our Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland was there and marched, our ambassador was there and marched, many people from the embassy were there and marched," the secretary of state said.

Mr Kerry said US officials, including himself and President Barack Obama, had been "deeply engaged" with French authorities almost immediately after the first attack occurred and had offered "our intel, our law enforcement and all of our efforts".

The US relationship with France was "not about one day, or one particular moment.

"It's an ongoing, long-time relationship that is deeply, deeply based in the shared values and particularly the commitment that we share to freedom of expression," said Mr Kerry.
