She said she was pleased with the progress made in the Prosub program, agreed in 2009, for the building of four conventional submarines and a nuclear submarine, and the transfer of technology to the South American country.

She also noted joint efforts in the building of helicopters and French support in the building of a Brazilian stationary satellite for civilian and military use.

"I also want to highlight the agreement for the purchase of a supercomputer and the installation of two research centers in Rio de Janeiro, as well as the technology transfer to build high-performance computers in Brazil," said Rousseff. "Only 10 countries in the world have this capacity."

Hollande said: "We support Brazilian President Rousseff's initiative on cyber security, both for national security as well as for people's privacy, and of course we are going to participate in the Sao Paulo meeting (on digital privacy). We need to have a strong position."
