PARIS (Reuters) - French President Nicolas Sarkozy said he would sign contracts worth around 10 billion euros with visiting Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi later on Monday.

"We will sign contracts in a few hours since I will receive the Libyan delegation around 19h00 (1800 GMT)... I will sign contracts worth around 10 billion euros," Sarkozy told reporters.

Gaddafi's son said in an interview at the weekend that Libya would buy over 3 billion euros worth of Airbus planes and was negotiating the possible purchase of Dassault Aviation-built Rafale fighter jets and of a nuclear reactor made by Areva. (Reporting by Marie Maitre)
