Cyprus hails EU support against Turkey on oil gas search
French President Emmanuel Macron will still visit Russia in May as it remains important to maintain "frank" talks with Moscow despite accusations of Russian involvement in a nerve agent attack in Britain, said French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian.
After speaking, Macron posthumously awarded Beltrame the Legion of Honour, France's highest order of merit.
Arnaud Beltrame, 44, was stabbed in the throat and shot repeatedly after taking the place of a hostage during a supermarket siege by Redouane Lakdim, 25, in Trebes, southern France, last Friday.
More than 240 people have been killed since early 2015 in France in attacks carried out by militants or individuals inspired by Islamists.
Other rallies in honor of Knoll, who narrowly escaped being deported to Auschwitz during World War Two, when 13,000 Jews were rounded up in July 1942 at the Vel d'Hiv velodrome in Paris, are planned in Lyon, Marseille and Strasbourg.
President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday led a national tribute to Beltrame, who swapped places with a woman Lakdim had been holding hostage.
He died the following morning in hospital.
"We must not fall into the old French trap of looking at the negative aspects of a new technology and using that as an excuse to refuse the technology", Macron said in a speech in Paris on Thursday.

Cameron Bancroft has apologised for his role in Australia's ball-tampering scandal. I have been speaking to the hierarchy in the last couple of days".
A vigil was also held in Jerusalem, where around 80 people, mostly French immigrants, gathered at Paris Square to light candles in Knoll's memory.
Around the country, minutes of silence were held in schools and in police stations.
Beltrame has been hailed as a national hero, with family members saying it was typical of him to put others first.
Lakdim had been on a list of suspected terrorists since 2014 and was being monitored.
Rightwing opposition leader Laurent Wauquiez and far-right leader Marine Le Pen have accused the government of a laxist approach to the jihadist approach. Right-wing political opponents have pressed Macron to deal firmly with radical preachers and Salafist mosques.
Prime Minister Edouard Philippe has hit back at politicians who "promise people zero risk", and rejected hardline proposals from rightwingers such as an outright ban on ultraconservative Islam.
At the same time, Japanese group Fujitsu also announced it would set up a European AI research centre in France, expanding the small research activities it already has in the country and transferring to it all of its researchers from elsewhere in Europe, Macron's office said.
