The foreign ministry said it was now working to ensure cooperation between the two governments on visa-related issues going forward.
The raided battery plant will now face a delay of at least two to three months, according to comments from Hyundai CEO Jose Munoz reported by Reuters during an event in Detroit.
Munoz said he was surprised to initially hear that the immigration action took place, given that the use of this type of labor is considered typical when a plant is getting started.
“For the construction phase of the plants, you need to get specialized people,” Munoz reportedly said. “There are a lot of skills and equipment that you cannot find in the United States.”
