French President Francois Hollande on Friday cancelled a visit to Poland planned next week after the Polish government decided to scrap an Airbus helicopter deal worth 3.14 billion euros (about 3.52 billion US dollars).
Hollande, expected to take part in Franco-Polish intergovernmental consultations scheduled for Oct. 13, decided to postpone his visit after Warsaw's decision to abandon a deal to buy Airbus-made Caracal helicopters, Le Figaro newspaper reported.
The French head of state had asked Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault to go to Poland "quickly," it added citing the president's office.
In April 2015, Poland's previous centrist government agreed to buy 50 Caracal helicopters as part of a plan to modernize its military and improve security amid increasing tension in eastern Europe.
Winning the country's legislative in October last year, the eurosceptic Law and Justice (PiS) party said it was cancelling the deal.
