French President Nicolas Sarkozy flew in to Abu Dhabi on Monday to open France's first permanent military base in the Gulf.
The base will host up to 500 troops stationed in three sites on the banks of the Strait of Hormuz, just across from Iran: a navy and logistical base, an air base with three fighter planes and a training camp.
