French President Francois Hollande will bring a
message of support during a visit Tuesday to Athens, where he will
attempt to clinch a lucrative frigate deal with Greek officials.
The six-hour visit will focus on Greece‘s privatization process, with Athens reportedly keen for French company EDF to bid in the international tender for Greece‘s natural gas companies DEPA and DESFA.
Hollande is also expected to discuss other investment opportunities with Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras, and try to convince officials to lease two FREMM multi-purpose frigates for the exploration of gas and oil reserves in the Aegean.
