BEIJING-- China Investment Corp (CIC), the country's sovereign-wealth fund, on Wednesday signed a Memorandum of Understanding with GDF SUEZ SA, a French energy company, to expand bilateral cooperation.
The two companies will further cooperate in the areas of gas, power, water, waste treatment and energy efficiency services, CIC said in a statement posted on its website.
CIC plans to pay $3.15 billion to acquire a 30 percent stake in GDF SUEZ's exploration and production division, according to the statement.

CIC is also considering investing $850 million to acquire a stake in GDF SUEZ's Atlantic LNG liquefaction facility located in Trinidad and Tobago, according to the statement.
