[Asia Economy Reporter Park So-yeon] On the 3rd, the Military Mutual Aid Association signed a business agreement at Sejong Hotel in Chuncheon City with Gangwon Province, five frontline border area counties, and the Korea Financial Telecommunications & Clearings Institute to "promote the welfare of military personnel and revitalize the local economy."

The signing ceremony, which focuses on actively cooperating to enhance the welfare of military personnel and revitalize the local economy, was attended by Kim Yoo-geun, Chairman of the Military Mutual Aid Association, Kim Hak-soo, President of the Korea Financial Telecommunications & Clearings Institute, Kim Seong-ho, Vice Governor of Gangwon Province, and representatives from the five border area counties.

The Military Mutual Aid Association operates the Nara Sarang Card on behalf of the Ministry of National Defense through its directly managed business office, Military Mutual Aid Association C&C. Currently, in Gangwon Province and the five border area counties, when military personnel on leave or outing make payments with the Nara Sarang Card at preferential stores in the area, they receive in-kind local gift certificates ranging from 3,000 KRW to a maximum of 50,000 KRW per transaction as part of the 'Military Personnel Preferential Store Development and Incentive Support Project.'

This agreement is part of the 'Military Personnel Preferential Store Development and Incentive Support Project.'

Kim Yoo-geun, Chairman of the Military Mutual Aid Association, said, "Through this business agreement, we hope that military personnel can conveniently use the services of these businesses via the Nara Sarang Portal, and also that it will help the economy of the Gangwon border area, which has been struggling due to COVID-19."

Meanwhile, the Military Mutual Aid Association provides the 'Defense Welfare Portal' and 'Nara Sarang Portal' platforms, a total service platform for soldier welfare and life cycle, through Military Mutual Aid Association C&C.
