Iran Mulls Joint Car Production With Russia
TEHRAN -- Iran is considering joint production of automobiles with Russia, Iranian Ambassador to Russia Kazem Jalali has said, signaling a closer partnership between the two countries to thwart Western sanctions.
The two sides are discussing the issue, Jalali told reporters in Moscow, expressing hope that the plans would be realized. Major Iranian automakers Iran Khodro and SAIPA, which participated in an auto parts exhibition in Moscow this past summer, have held talks with their Russian partners, he said.
