The newly appointed Mitsubishi Motors Corp. chairman and chief executive officer hinted Friday that the troubled automaker might seek a capital tieup with other automakers besides its biggest shareholder, DaimlerChrysler AG.
"We don't have any plan to seek a new partner at the moment. But that is possible in the future," Yoichiro Okazaki told a news conference in Tokyo.
Okazaki, a former managing director at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd., was appointed president in the day's extraordinary shareholders' meeting, during which MMC came under fire.
