Iran plans to build oil refinery and petrochemicals plant in Senegal

Pursuant to last weeks' meeting with Iranian officials hosted by Senegal's President, Iran plans to build oil refinery and petrochemicals plant in Senegal. Iran also promised to speed up the development of a car assembly plant for state-owned carmaker Iran Khodro in the west African nation. Foreign investors have been attracted to Senegal because of its stability that is evident in the fact that Senegal is the only country in West Africa not to have experienced a coup since independence.
