Nissan’s board of directors met earlier in the day and decided the company “should proceed with exploratory discussions concerning a potential alliance with General Motors,” Nissan said in a statement cited by The Associated Press (AP).
The statement added that the talks will be conditional on GM endorsing a proposal by its major shareholder, Tracinda Corp, that GM join the alliance between Renault and Nissan.
