“We are producing cars. We have managed to solve virtually all the issues with our Chinese partners and the plant starts operating at full capacity in September.

In his words, the development of a passenger car is also being worked out with the Russian Federation. “We continue discussing passenger car production. There are some issues there. We also want to have these competencies. There are a lot of points of contact, which will be discussed and solutions will be found in the near future. There are proposals from Iran on passenger car making. A working group of our specialists has been created to include the public sector and private companies.
