PARIS (Reuters) – Renault , Nissan and Mitsubishi said on Thursday they remained “fully committed” to their three-way alliance following Chairman Carlos Ghosn’s arrest in Japan.
The boards of all three companies have “emphatically reiterated their strong commitment to the Alliance,” they said in a statement issued as executives gathered for talks in Amsterdam for the first time since Ghosn’s Nov. 19 arrest.
The detention of Ghosn over misconduct allegations uncovered by a Nissan whistleblower probe has revived tensions over French carmaker Renault’s control of their 19-year-old partnership.
