A ground-breaking ceremony due on 17 May has been postponed ‘indefinitely’.
Hyundai’s chairman Chung Mong-koo is currently under arrest and being held in a detention centre in South Korea on charges of corruption. He would normally sign major deals like this and head up any ground-breaking or opening ceremonies.
