“We have had talks on the issue already and suggested a [construction] site near the city of Shakhty,” Stanislavov said, adding that the Chinese companies were expected to make a decision within two months.
The news agency noted that Chery and Russia’s Avtotor had been expected to start building an assembly plant in the Kaliningrad Region this year, but postponed it until 2009.
