TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior official of Iran's largest auto-manufacturing company, Iran-Khodro (IKCO), said that Iran-Khodro Industrial Group is ready to inaugurate a car production plant in Senegal.

"The Iranian car-manufacturing plant will be inaugurated in Senegal in a ceremony to be attended by the Iranian president by the next month," Iran-Khodro CEO Javad Najmeddin said in a ceremony held in the northern province of Mazandaran to mark inauguration of an IKCO plant.

Najmeddin reiterated that the plan for the establishment of a car-manufacturing plant in Senegal will pave the way for the production of the company's products in all African countries.

Iran's state-owned Iran-Khodro is the largest carmaker in the Middle East, Central Asia and North Africa, with an annual production of more than one million vehicles of various models, including cars, trucks, minibuses and buses.

IKCO is also ramping up exports as it builds a global presence outside Iran.
