据英国金融时报报道，奇瑞汽车将于英国设立一个乘用车研发中心，以进一步扩大其在英国市场的业务布局。奇瑞国际英国公司首席执行官Gary Lan周三表示，这家研发中心是“我们在英国长期发展计划的下一步。我们的雄心从来都不仅仅是把汽车带到英国。”奇瑞表示，该研发中心将于今年深秋投入运营。奇瑞目前已成为英国增长最快的中国汽车制造商之一。今年7月，奇瑞全球销量约为28万辆，其中出口量约为20.2万辆，同比增长70%。这使奇瑞成为首家单月出口量突破20万辆的中国汽车制造商。

Al Jazeera reported Iranian foreign minister Araghchi said the US sought to force Iran to surrender in the conflict but "we will not surrender," and is now "begging" to negotiate on Iran's terms. He said a memorandum of understanding with the US contains 13 clauses favorable to Iran and one favorable to the US, accused Israel of trying to block its implementation, and said Iran's military and battlefield capabilities underpin its diplomatic leverage.

Iranian parliament speaker Ghalibaf said Iran will take concrete steps to strengthen relations with Iraq.
