Hyundai Motor to Provide Official Protocol Vehicles for the 1st Korea-Central Asia Summit

Hyundai Motor will provide official protocol vehicles to delegations of participating countries to ensure the successful hosting of the first Korea-Central Asia Summit, to be held in Korea on September 16.

Hyundai Motor announced on the 27th that it signed a “Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Vehicle Support for the 1st Korea-Central Asia Summit in 2026” with the preparatory planning team for the 1st Korea-Central Asia Summit at the Seohee Hall of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Seoul. The event was attended by key government and Hyundai Motor officials, including Deputy Minister for Political Affairs Chung Eui-hye (who also serves as head of the preparatory planning team for the 1st Korea-Central Asia Summit) and Hyundai Motor GPO Executive Director Kim Dong-jo.

The 1st Korea-Central Asia Summit is the only multilateral summit to be held in Korea this year, where the leaders of Korea and the five Central Asian countries (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan) are expected to gather to discuss cooperation directions in various fields such as economy, diplomacy, and trade.

Hyundai Motor plans to provide a total of 33 Genesis G90 and G80 vehicles to key guests, including the heads of state and minister-level officials of the five Central Asian countries, during the summit in September.

Hyundai Motor has consistently supported protocol and operational vehicles for major international events 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 provide event vehicles to delegations of participating countries at the “49th ASEAN Summit” to be held in the Philippines in November.
