Iran, France Offers Egypt Cooperation on Nuclear Program
[Ha'aretz] Yoav Stern - Iran is willing to cooperate with Egypt on its nuclear program, Ali Larijani, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei's representative to the Iranian Supreme National Security Council, said in Cairo on Sunday. France stands ready to help Egypt develop civilian nuclear technology, French President Sarkozy told Egypt's Al-Ahram ahead of meetings in Egypt with President Mubarak. "Egypt has considerable energy needs and it naturally envisages constructing nuclear reactors.... France, which probably has the best expertise and the greatest experience in the matter, is ready to cooperate with Egypt," he said. France generates almost 80% of its electricity from nuclear power.
