[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Hyunjin] The LG Electronics Labor Union announced on the 10th that it delivered living support funds and health supplements to about 100 surviving veterans at the "Korean War Veterans Welfare Center" located in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia.

Considering the rising food prices in Ethiopia, where the civil war continues, LG Electronics explained that following the living support funds provided in June, the labor union decided to provide additional support this time. Yang Seunghwan, the head of the Ethiopia branch, attended the delivery ceremony held on the 8th instead of the LG Electronics Labor Union due to the COVID-19 situation.

Since 2013, LG Electronics and the LG Electronics Labor Union have been supporting living support funds, scholarships, goods, and education annually in cooperation with the NGO World Together. To commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Korean War, LG Electronics has been carrying out the Hope Village project since October last year to help the self-reliance of Ethiopian veterans and their descendants.

Baek Sangho, chairman of the LG Electronics Labor Union, said, "We will continue to present various support activities to fulfill the union's social responsibility."
