Medvedev in France backs sanctions on Iran‎ - 38 minutes ago. PARIS – Russia and France launched a new era of close partnership on Monday, with the Kremlin signalling it could support targeted sanctions against Iran and France offering to sell warships to Moscow. The French president said selling modern helicopter carriers was a gesture of confidence in Russia as a "strategic partner". Medvedev flew into France with a delegation of Russia's richest businessmen. His talks with Sarkozy were to be followed by a day of meetings with French business leaders and officials. As Medvedev arrived, French and Russian energy giants GDF Suez and Gazprom announced they had agreed terms for deals for France to take more Russian gas and invest in a Baltic pipeline. According to the firms, the gas agreement foresees Gazprom supplying GDF Suez with an extra 1.5 billion cubic meters of gas per year through the Nord Stream pipeline. The deal was signed at Monday evening's meeting, along with a contract for French engineering firm Alstom to take a 25% stake in Russia's train parts maker Transmashholding. Meanwhile in Russia, French car firm Renault inaugurated a 150-million-euro extension to the Avtoframos car plant in Moscow and said it plans to double production to 160,000 vehicles per year. The economic focus of Medvedev's visit was underlined by the presence of the head of Gazprom, Alexei Miller, billionaire aluminium magnate Oleg Deripaska and one of Russia's richest men, Mikhail Prokhorov, in the party. Countries in Eastern Europe such as Poland, the Baltic states and Georgia have been alarmed by Moscow's outreach to Paris.
