France supports naval technology transfer to Russia
France is ready to transfer warship technology to Russia, Prime Minister Francois Fillon said on Thursday.
"We see no problem in transferring technology," Fillon said at a joint news conference with Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.
Russia and France are currently in talks on a 2+2 scheme, whereby Russia will buy two French Mistral-class amphibious assault ships and build another two at home.
Russia's United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC) and France's shipbuilder DCNS in November signed an agreement to form a consortium, which is seen as the most likely winner of a Russian tender to build the two ships
Fillon said he was sure that the talks would be completed.
