On July 27, at the Seohee Hall of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Seoul, Hyundai Motor Company signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on vehicle support for the 1st Korea-Central Asia Summit 2026 with the Preparatory Planning Committee of the 1st Korea-Central Asia Summit. Key government and Hyundai Motor officials attended the event, including Jung Hyehye, Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs (who also leads the Preparatory Planning Committee for the 1st Korea-Central Asia Summit), and Kim Dongjo, Executive Vice President and Global Production Operations Officer at Hyundai Motor Company.


The Korea-Central Asia Summit is expected to be the only multilateral summit hosted by Korea this year. Leaders of Korea and the five Central Asian countries (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan) will come together to discuss directions for cooperation in various sectors including the economy, diplomacy, and trade.


During the summit, Hyundai Motor Company plans to provide a total of 33 Genesis G90 and G80 vehicles to major foreign guests, including the presidents and ministerial-level officials of the five Central Asian countries. By supporting large sedans of the Genesis brand—recognized for their quality and competitiveness in the global market—Hyundai aims both to contribute to the successful hosting of this significant diplomatic event in Korea and to widely promote the outstanding features of Genesis vehicles.


Hyundai Motor Company has consistently provided protocol and operational vehicles for major international events both at home and abroad, including the '2025 APEC Summit (Gyeongju)', the '2025 G20 Johannesburg Summit (South Africa)', and the '2024 Korea-Africa Summit (Seoul/Goyang)'. The company also plans to supply event vehicles for the delegations during the 49th ASEAN Summit to be held in the Philippines this November.



A Hyundai Motor Company official stated, "We are honored to support the Korea-Central Asia Summit, which is being held in Korea for the first time, by providing protocol vehicles. Based on our extensive experience supplying vehicles for key international events both domestically and internationally, we will actively cooperate to ensure the success of this summit."
