Hyundai Motor completed renovation for Korea Park in Ankara, the capital of Turkey, in memory of veterans of the 1950-53 Korean War, the carmaker said Sunday.

The project was initiated last September upon suggestion from Hyundai Motor Group Executive Chair Chung Euisun. The Korea Park opened in 1973 to pay tribute to soldiers who lost their lives during the war.

"The renovation will help local visitors relax more comfortably," an official from Hyundai Motor said. "The project is expected to provide momentum to commemorate the sacrifices of fallen soldiers during the Korean War."

Hyundai Motor launched the project in September last year to express gratitude to the soldiers, marking the 50th anniversary of the park's establishment.

The company held talks with the country's relevant government authorities for smooth progress of the project, which took 10 months to complete.

The Korea Park was created on 10,000 square meters of land in Ankara. A monument to Turkish soldiers in the Korean War, built in the park, symbolizes the fallen soldiers' dedication. A maintenance office and some benches were located near the monument, but they had been worn out and damaged over the past five decades, according to the carmaker.

After the renovation, it was reopened on June 25, remembering the outbreak of the Korean War. A group of military personnel and government officials from both countries attended the reopening event of the park.

Hyundai Motor is strengthening ties with the country each year by engaging in diverse corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities for citizens there. The carmaker provides scholarships to 400 college and high school students there each year. Last year, the company installed a technical education center and donated tools and materials to a high school in Istanbul.

The company runs various CSR campaigns for the country ever since tapping into its market in 1997.

The Korean carmaker has been most agile in CSR activities for the country. Early last year when an earthquake hit the country, the company donated relief goods and $2 million for its recovery.
