      France to station forces in Gulf


      France and the United Arab Emirates have signed an agreement allowing France to set up a permanent military base in the Gulf.
      The UAE and France have military co-operation agreements, but the base will be France's first in the Gulf.
      The deal allows for the stationing of up to 500 permanent military personnel. The two countries also signed a deal on the development of nuclear energy during a visit to the UAE by French President Nicolas Sarkozy. The deal on nuclear energy is the latest in a series of similar agreements between France and Arab countries.
