[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Pyeonghwa] On the 23rd, the Federation of Korean Industries (FKI) announced that to commemorate the 77th anniversary of Liberation Day, it will promote the "First-Class Veterans Accompaniment (同行) - National Merit Recipients' Housing Environment Improvement Project." This initiative is in collaboration with the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs, Hanwha Corporation, and four defense companies of the Hanwha Group: Hanwha Systems, Hanwha Defense, and Hanwha Aerospace.

On the same day, Huh Chang-soo, Chairman of the FKI, held a business agreement ceremony for improving the housing environment of national merit recipients at the home of a descendant of an independence activist in Amsa-dong, Gangdong-gu, Seoul. The ceremony was attended by Park Min-sik, Commissioner of the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs, Kim Seung-mo, CEO of Hanwha Corporation, and Yoon Joo-kyung, a member of the National Assembly and granddaughter of independence activist Yoon Bong-gil. They also participated in volunteer activities such as exterior wall painting to improve the housing environment.

The first household of the First-Class Veterans Accompaniment (同行) project, supported by the economic sector, is the home of Lee Seong-ja, the granddaughter of Choi Myeong-su, a patriotic independence activist selected by the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs as the August independence activist of the month. Interior work will be carried out to address insulation and leakage issues and to enhance convenience and quality of life.

The First-Class Veterans Accompaniment (同行) project supported by the economic sector will be conducted for a total of eight households within this year. The four defense companies of the Hanwha Group will provide 200 million KRW in support. The project will focus on repairing damage caused by recent heavy rains and improving overall housing difficulties with the participation of interior design experts.

Chairman Huh said, "Today's event was organized to remember the sacrifices of our patriotic martyrs and to express gratitude to their descendants," adding, "Through the First-Class Veterans Accompaniment project, I hope it will serve as a good example where patriotic activists who devoted themselves to the independence movement, national merit recipients, and their families can receive respect and honor."

Park Min-sik, Commissioner of the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs, stated, "It is the nation's infinite responsibility to ensure that national merit recipients and their descendants who sacrificed for the country can live comfortably and peacefully," and added, "Today marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Daehan Tonguiboo, where patriotic activist Choi Myeong-su was active, and it is meaningful that the economic sector is joining in repaying their dedication and sacrifice."
