Saudi, France Close to Civil Nuclear Deal

France says it will soon sign a civilian nuclear accord with Saudi Arabia, emphasizing that 'good progress' has been made in talks with the kingdom.

French Economy Minister, Christine Lagarde, said on Sunday that both sides are finalizing a civilian nuclear energy cooperation agreement and a deal could soon be signed.

"The negotiations have progressed well and I hope that our two heads of state - King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz and President Nicolas Sarkozy - will be able to sign an agreement soon."

"It's a cooperative agreement that has not yet been completely finalized but which will clearly reinforce cooperation in the civilian nuclear field and of course incorporating the highest security conditions," Lagarde told reporters after talks with King Abdullah, Oil Minister Ali al-Naimi, Finance Minister Ibrahim al-Assaf and other Saudi officials.

France has also signed civilian nuclear deals with Algeria and Libya.
