A Nissan spokesman was not immediately available to comment to Reuters.
The regular alliance meeting for Renault, Nissan and Mitsubishi Motors will be the first attended by Senard since he replaced Carlos Ghosn as chairman of the French automaker last week.
Reuters noted Ghosn was indicted in Japan for financial misconduct and removed from his roles at the three automakers, threatening the future of the partnership he transformed into a global industrial giant over two decades.
