Auto maker Chery expands presence in Middle East

Mirza Sadegh and a dozen of his fellow Iranians are attending a 25-day training course at the headquarters of China's leading car producer, Chery Automobile, in Wuhu city, Anhui province.

The training is expected to give Chery's Iranian employees a better understanding of the company's production flow, development goals, corporate culture and Chinese cultural aspects.

"Every day here is precious. I am going to take what I learn from here back home and make Iran-made Chery cars even better than China-made ones," said Sadegh from Modiran Vehicle Manufacturing, a Chery-controlled firm in Kerman in southern Iran.
