i don't think the alliance is something which becomes valuable just because parties are tied together by a contract or are set up as a holding company cuts you will reserve customisation it should be something which stands on a principle of mutual respect of our independence. we're going to do since through that we build a win win relationship and maximize the effect of synergy we mean because she has you'll take a. psychology will meet his counterpart at renault john dominic later this week in japan for only their second meeting the french carmaker owns a forty three percent stake in nissan compared to nissan's fifteen percent stake in renault guns arrest came amid reports that he was trying to turn the alliance into a merger it was you apologized again for the scandal on tuesday it will continue to dominate headlines and bottom lines nissan says it may still owe go on his compensation for twenty eighteen. so where to go for this one hundred now let's
