“I hope Li’s visit sparks the exchange and cooperation between the firms of the two countries and ultimately adds to the economic development of both nations,” said Koo.
The 125,000 square-meter R&D campus is LG’s biggest research facility constructed in 2009. The 25-story building houses around 3,700 researchers.
The senior Chinese official also met Kumho Asiana Group chairman Park Sam-koo at Hotel Shilla to discuss bilateral economic cooperation. Park is also head of the Korea-China Friendship Association.
