PARIS, May 15 (Xinhua) -- France has agreed to offer Pakistan its civilian nuclear technology, French media quoted Pakistani Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi as saying on Friday.

    "France has agreed to transfer civilian nuclear technology to Pakistan," Qureshi said after a meeting between Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari and French President Nicolas Sarkozy inParis.

    "What can be done for India can be done for Pakistan as well," the minister quoted Sarkozy as saying.

    According to Qureshi, negotiations regarding the transfer of nuclear technology will be held in July and deals on such cooperation are likely to be signed during Sarkozy's visit to Pakistan in September.

    Noting France is a very important partner to Pakistan, Qureshi expressed hopes for advancing cooperation with the country in various sectors.

    Zardari said France had pledged 12 million euros (16 million U.S. dollars) in humanitarian aid to help internally displaced people in Pakistan. He said Sarkozy had been very generous during their meeting at the Elysee Palace.

    This has been Zardari's first official trip to France since he became president in 2008.
