Domestic automakers do not have many foreign partners to choose from due to sanctions and experts believe cooperation with available options will not help the industry significantly.
According to automotive experts, the activities of companies operating in the field account for about 20% of the country's total industrial operations.
However, over the past few years, the industry has been the main bone of contention between parliamentarians, especially of the Majlis Industries and Mines Commission, and the Ministry of Industries, Mining and Trade.
