Sarkozy says Rafale talks with Kuwait going well



Discussions with Kuwait over a possible sale of Rafale combat jets made by France's Dassault Aviation (AVMD.PA) are progressing well, French President Nicolas Sarkozy said on Wednesday.During a visit to the Gulf state, Sarkozy told reporters that "detailed discussions are underway" and that they were "quite advanced". He said the talks concerned the possible sale of 14-28 Rafale jets. The Rafale is France's next generation, multirole combat aircraft, combining both fighter and bomber roles and has been a flagship programme for France's arms industry but Paris has yet to find a foreign buyer for the expensive jet.
