MANILA, Philippines - Hyundai is the Philippine government’s vehicle of choice as the country is set to host two historic events that will mark the ASEAN region’s drive for a sustainable future—the ASEAN Finance Ministers’ Investor Seminar (AFMIS) on May 20, and the 23rd World Economic Forum East Asia (WEF-EA) on May 21-23. It is the first time that the Philippines will host the WEF-EA.
Eleven Hyundai Grand Santa Fe units will be at the service of finance ministers of the 10 member countries of the ASEAN for the AFMIS, while 52 Grand Starex units have been appointed to transport official WEF-EA delegates.
“We are more than thrilled to contribute in our small way to the critical decision making that will take place as the Philippines takes center stage for WEF-EA 2014,†said Hyundai Asia Resources, Inc. (HARI) president and CEO Ma. Fe Perez-Agudo. “Having the movers and shakers in global finance and business scene experience up-close the Premium features of our two powerhouse vehicles, the Grand Santa Fe and the Grand Starex, is already a remarkable step for the brand. However, what is more brilliant is the fact that as the Philippines tells the world of its amazing growth track, Hyundai will be there to tell its own story of how it shaped the Philippine auto industry. Being the Official Mobility Partner of the Philippine government in hosting AFMIS and WEF is indeed a grand opportunity for HARI to highlight the achievements of Hyundai in the country and what it is set to achieve in the future.â€
