[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] Chung Eui-sun, Chairman of Hyundai Motor Group, toured booths of not only Hyundai Motor and Hyundai Mobis but also several other companies at 'CES 2022,' the world's largest electronics and IT exhibition, which opened on the 5th (local time) in Las Vegas, USA, to observe technology trends.

Chairman Chung particularly visited the Samsung Electronics booth and met with Han Jong-hee, Vice Chairman of Samsung Electronics, where they discussed technological cooperation between Samsung Electronics and Hyundai Motor.

This meeting attracted great attention as business cooperation between Samsung and Hyundai Motor is expanding, and recently President Moon Jae-in urged close collaboration between the two companies on automotive semiconductors.

Furthermore, at the Hyundai Heavy Industries Group booth, Chairman Chung cheered on his cousin Chung Ki-sun, CEO of Hyundai Heavy Industries Holdings, for his CES debut. Chairman Chung visited the Hyundai Heavy Industries booth before the Hyundai Motor booth and reportedly listened to CEO Chung’s press conference presentation backstage.
