Struggling Mitsubishi Motors Corp. said Wednesday its global sales for fiscal 2004 will probably approach its 1.45 million-unit target because strong overseas sales are offsetting plunging domestic figures.

The better-than-expected figures were unveiled at an extraordinary shareholders' meeting in Tokyo held in connection with MMC's recent efforts to boost capital.

MMC said its overseas sales are expected to reach 1.2 million units, exceeding its target of 1.15 million announced in a turnaround plan in May.
