Venirauto president calls for IKCO Runna production in Venezuela

TEHRAN (FNA)- Venirauto President Francisco Antonio Espinoza Guyn said during a visit to the production lines of Iran's largest carmaker, the Iran-Khodro Company, that IKCO's latest product Runna will have a good market in Venezuela.

Venirauto is negotiating with Iran's top class carmakers, IKCO and SAIPA, to boost its production capacity.

Espinoza believes that the visit to IKCO is an opportunity to take the advantage of the managers' and experts' experiences useful for the development of Venirauto.

The president restated that the auto industry is of great importance for the government of Venezuela and Veirauto calls for the continuation and expansion of cooperation with Iranian companies to produce and present new cars.

Talking about exporting cars to the neighboring countries of Venezuela, the Venirauto president said, "Exporting cars to the Mercosur and ALBA member countries is under study by the company".

Espinoza finally said that self-reliance in the production of parts in the country would save remarkable foreign currency and Venirauto is firmed to be self-sufficient in this field.
