SAUDI ARABIA - Riyadh ready to sign a nuclear pact with Paris

Nicolas Sarkozy had proposed in 2008. This February 22, this should be done: after many delays and hesitations, Riyadh and Paris are expected to sign a "nuclear pact", by which France committed to helping the kingdom to develop its civilian nuclear power, reports the Daily Jeddah. The text should be signed by Eric Besson, Minister of Energy, and Hisham Yamouni, a manager of nuclear energy in Saudi Arabia.

Areva is expected to participate in building a new reactor.
