[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] On the 26th, the Korea Development Bank (KDB) announced that it delivered a total of 30 million KRW, 5 million KRW each, to six exemplary soldiers from the sister unit, the 7th Infantry Division of the Army, as part of the KDB Warm Companion No. 47 sponsorship program.


The recipients are soldiers who enlisted to fulfill their national defense duties despite difficult circumstances such as being the head of a household at a young age, coming from multicultural families, or having family members in urgent need of hospital treatment due to disabilities or illnesses. The exemplary soldiers were selected based on recommendations from the 7th Infantry Division for their diligent performance of assigned duties.


Since 2012, KDB has signed a 'One Company, One Barracks' agreement with the 7th Infantry Division and has conducted annual visits and exchange activities, including sponsorships on the division's founding anniversary, to support the soldiers protecting the nation on the front lines.


The sponsorship fund delivery ceremony held at the 7th Infantry Division in Hwacheon, Gangwon Province, was attended by Park Seon-gyeong, Head of Management Division at KDB, and Son Gwang-je, Commander of the 7th Infantry Division, who encouraged the soldiers working hard to defend the country despite the increasingly cold weather.



A KDB official stated, "Through the KDB Warm Companion sponsorship project, we have practiced warm sharing totaling 750 million KRW over 47 sessions," adding, "We will continue to provide ongoing support in the future."
