Russia is interested in selling SSJ-100 aircraft on the Iranian market and is ready to localize production of components in Iran, Minister of Industry Denis Manturov said on Monday at the Russia - Iran industrial exhibition.
"We are also interested in supplies of Russian airplanes, SSJ-100 aircraft in the first instance. Furthermore, we are ready to specifically discuss localization of components production to this aircraft in Iran," the minister said.
The trade turnover between two nations rose 5% last year and amounted to nearly $1.7 bln, the minister said. "At the same time, current bilateral trade and its growth rates do not correspond to the available potential," Manturov added.
