[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Dong-hoon] The Korea Iron & Steel Association has decided to promote cooperation with the Defense Facilities Headquarters to advance military facility projects and develop the domestic steel industry.

On the 16th, the two organizations signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) and agreed to actively collaborate in areas including ▲prioritizing the supply of high-quality steel for military facility projects ▲expanding the use of domestically produced steel in military facility projects ▲supporting quality inspections of steel materials brought into military project sites ▲and jointly hosting seminars and exhibitions.

As the first step of this agreement, the Facilities Headquarters plans to review the application of domestically produced steel in military shooting ranges to prevent damage to local residents caused by stray bullets and ricochets, thereby contributing to community safety. Going forward, they plan to continuously expand the use of domestic steel in various military facility projects such as residential and welfare facilities.

Heo Dae-young, Executive Director of the Korea Iron & Steel Association, stated, "Domestic steel is a representative material that has ensured public safety based on its excellent quality. Taking this MOU with the Defense Facilities Headquarters as an opportunity, the steel industry will actively cooperate in advancing various military facility projects, including shooting range improvement projects."

Meanwhile, the Korea Iron & Steel Association plans to actively promote the 'K-Steel' campaign to widely publicize the excellence of domestically produced steel, leveraging this cooperation with the Defense Facilities Headquarters.
