The Kingdom and France signed yesterday morning a historic agreement on the development of peaceful nuclear energy under the framework of the international treaties related to safety and non-proliferation. President of King Abdullah City of Atomic and Renewable Energy Dr. Hashem Yamani said that the Kingdom is willing to utilize alternative power resources such as the atomic, solar, geothermal, and wind energies in order to meet the increasing demand on the local energy which grows in 8% annually. Dr. Yamani pointed out that this agreement will allow the Saudi experts to study the French technological options and their financial requirements, and also to identify the qualified national labor force required.
