France and Kuwait agreed on Friday to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, the latest Gulf Arab nation to eye nuclear power, and raising the prospect of lucrative contracts for French firms.

Kuwait, the world's fourth largest oil exporter, is facing rising energy demand and has experienced power cuts in the past, especially during the hot summer months when air conditioning use rises.

The agreements centre on developing nuclear energy to provide electricity and water desalination, the two countries said in a joint statement.
