Rabat, April 24 -- Following the deadly terrorist attack at two Christchurch mosques, New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and French President Emmanuel Macron will co-chair a global summit on May 15 to address online extremism.
Ardern said on Wednesday, April 24, that the meeting will be a call for world leaders and executives of tech companies to agree to a pledge called "Christchurch Call," named after the New Zealand city where a terrorist opened fire at two mosques, killing 50 people and wounding another 50.
