French President Francois Hollande has overseen a major military deal with Qatar which will supply the Arab country with dozens of state-of-the-art fighter jets.
Hollande on Monday hammered out a 6.3-billion-euro (USD-seven-billion) deal in Doha to sell the monarchy 24 Rafale fighter jets, with an option on a further 12.
"If we are present here in Qatar... it is because there has been a long tradition, and because France is seen as a reliable country which a partner country can have confidence in," he said during the ceremony.
Later in the day, Hollande departed the Qatari capital of Doha for Riyadh where he will attend a meeting of Arab leaders who are trying to explore ways of strengthening the Saudi aggression against the impoverished Arab country.
This would be the first time a Western leader personally attends a summit of the [Persian] Gulf Cooperation Council ( GCC), a regional alliance of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. All but Oman are contributing to Saudi airstrikes against Yemen
