[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] The LG Electronics Labor Union once again expressed gratitude this year for the courage and sacrifice of Ethiopian veterans.

On the 22nd, the LG Electronics Labor Union announced that it recently delivered living support funds and health supplements to over 120 surviving veterans at the "Ethiopian Korean War Veterans Association" in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia.

Yang Seung-hwan, head of LG Electronics' Ethiopia branch, attended the delivery ceremony on behalf of the LG Electronics Labor Union.

Since 2018, the LG Electronics Labor Union has been practicing Union Social Responsibility (USR) and annually providing living support funds and supplies to Ethiopian veterans to express their gratitude.

After the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950, Ethiopia responded to the United Nations' dispatch request and sent a unit of about 6,000 troops to Korea in 1951. They stayed in Korea until 1956, assisting with reconstruction. The Ethiopian unit also pooled their salaries to establish an orphanage in Dongducheon, Gyeonggi Province, to care for war orphans.

Bae Sang-ho, chairman of the LG Electronics Labor Union, stated, “We will continue our efforts to support Ethiopian veterans.”
