<blockquote>France is negotiating large defense contracts with the oil-rich kingdom.
Le Drian said the Saudi side confirmed to him that a 1.1-billion-euro ($1.5 billion) contract to overhaul four frigates and two re-fuelling ships had "entered into effect on October 7."
The work would involve French weapons and systems makers, DCNS, Thales and MBDA, he said in a statement.
Discussions are meanwhile ongoing regarding another contract that could amount to two billion euros ($2.72 billion)for modernizing Saudi air defenses.</blockquote>

<blockquote>French nuclear giants Areva and EDF are to help train workers for Saudi Arabia's planned nuclear power industry.
The two French companies have signed a cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia's National Institute of Technology "with the aim of contributing to the development of technical nuclear skills in Saudi Arabia."
Areva and EDF will train Saudi technicians in the various nuclear specialities, including welding, electrical installation, mechanics and electromechanics. They have recently welcomed representatives from several Saudi higher education establishments to their industrial sites in France to show them fuel cycle activities, operation of nuclear power plants and reactor construction.</blockquote>
