France and Qatar inked several agreements on energy cooperation after the French president began his visit to Doha Monday, according to reports from Doha.
Local media reported that France's Areva Transmission and Distribution reached a deal with Qatar's electricity company Kahrama on the supply of substations to provide electricity throughout the Gulf state.
The two sides also signed two memoranda of understanding on cooperation on traditional energies as well as nuclear power and renewable energies.
After Saudi Arabia, Qatar is Sarkozy's second stop on his first Gulf tour since taking office last May, which will also take him to the United Arab Emirates.
