Macron and Lula launch submarine built in Brazil with French tech
By Rodrigo Viga Gaier
ITAGUAI, Brazil (Reuters) -The presidents of France and Brazil on Wednesday launched a submarine built in the South American country with French technology in a program that aims to build Brazil's first nuclear-powered submarine by the end of the decade.
Presidents Emmanuel Macron and Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva attended a ceremony in the Itaguai shipyard near Rio de Janeiro launching the third diesel-powered submarine built in a $10 billion partnership.
Brazil's first lady Janja da Silva smashed a champagne bottle on the bow of the submarine Tonelero and the two presidents activated a lever sending the Scorpene-class vessel into the sea.
The submarine program, begun in 2008 during Lula's previous presidential term, is a partnership with France's state-run Naval Group in which defense contractor Thales has a 35% stake.
The program, called ProSub, is Brazil's biggest international cooperation project in the defense sector, Lula said, and aims to protect its sovereignty over waters from where 85% of the country's oil and 75% of its gas comes.
