Canada, which had dozens of passengers onboard, has also assigned an expert, while a team from Ukraine held discussions in Tehran yesterday, Parvaresh said in a telephone interview.Sweden and Afghanistan, which had some passengers on board, have also been notified. France may also be involved as it was one of the countries where the engines are made, Parvaresh said.
