The Danish Parliamentary Delegation, consisting of six members including Peter Juel-Jensen, Chair of the Danish NATO and OSCE Parliamentary Committees, visited Changwon together with Michael Hemniti Winther, Ambassador of Denmark to Korea, to directly examine the current status and technological capabilities of the defense industry.

This visit was initiated as a result of the relationship established when the Danish Defense Attach? visited Changwon during a networking event for foreign military attach?s in Korea in April.

Jang Geumyong, Acting Mayor of Changwon Special City, stated, "As the international security environment is rapidly changing, international cooperation and advanced technology exchange in the defense industry have become increasingly important issues. I understand that Denmark is also actively working to strengthen its defense industry. Changwon has the most well-established supply chain system for defense production, and I believe this visit will lay the foundation for defense cooperation between our two countries."

The Danish Parliamentary Delegation subsequently visited Hanwha Aerospace to observe the integrated defense systems spanning ground and space, and then visited Hyundai Rotem to witness the excellence of Korea’s mobile weapon systems.

This visit is expected to serve as a significant turning point for defense industry cooperation between the two countries, and Changwon Special City plans to further strengthen its global competitiveness in the defense sector going forward.
