“This would give MG Rover representation in the region, in order to develop its presence,” the statement added.

The plant currently produces Daewoo’s Matiz, Nubira and Lanos models plus the Fiat-based Polonez.

MG Rover says it has had exclusive discussions with the government over its proposals but, although several meetings have taken place, no formal decisions have yet been taken.

Company officials refused to reveal any further details of the proposed deal.
