The Hyundai company is still very important to Beijing's economic development, said Liu Qi, secretary of the Beijing Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in Beijing Wednesday.
Liu, also a member of the CPC Central Committee Political Bureau, made the remark during a meeting with Chung Mong-koo, chairman and chief executive officer of Hyundai Motor Co., LTD of the Republic of Korea (ROK).
During Beijing's fight against the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), the Beijing Hyundai Motor Company not only maintained high production, but also contributed to SARS prevention and treatment work in Beijing, Liu said.
Now that SARS has been defeated, the service industry in Beijing is recovering, Liu said, underlining Hyundai's manufacturing, including auto production, in Beijing.
