TOKYO -- Renault Chairman Jean-Dominique Senard on Wednesday reiterated that his top priority is to ensure a deeper relationship between the French carmaker and its Japanese alliance partner -- and not necessarily to address a situation in which the smaller company, Renault, has the larger stake in the more global Nissan Motor.
"The first priority is that the alliance goes ahead," Senard told Japanese reporters in Yokohama. "We need to bring Nissan back on track, [which] will help in strengthening the alliance."
