PARIS, 31-3-2014 — /EuropaWire/ — On the occasion of the visit to France of Mr. Xi Jinping, President of the People’s Republic of China, AREVA participated in the celebration of the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
This visit included notably the signature of agreements for the continuation of the Franco-Chinese strategic partnership in civil nuclear energy, which celebrated its 30th anniversary last year.
The industrial negotiations for this project are advancing. The technical discussions to define the distribution of tasks and responsibilities are being finalized in line with the initial schedule. The negotiations will be entering the commercial phase.
Furthermore, both companies plan to expand their cooperation in the fields of operational support and maintenance of the future facility as well as the used fuel logistical chain which is expecting strong growth in China over the coming years.
