Iran's largest automaker is attempting to prioritize exports to Russia, according to its CEO, as both countries face Western economic sanctions.
Iran Khodro displayed the latest model of its Rira crossover car at its factory west of Tehran, where CEO Mehdi Khatibi outlined the company's plans for the Russian market.
The declaration on August 14 came following Russian President Vladimir Putin visit to Tehran in July, where he met with Iranian counterpart Ebrahim Raisi and Iranian Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Since the start of the Ukraine war, Russia has endured increasingly harsh sanctions, while Iran has faced stiff sanctions reimposed in 2018 when the US unilaterally withdrew from a nuclear deal between Tehran and international powers.
In response to the sanctions, the two countries have increased collaboration in crucial areas to assist support their respective economies.
