Hanwha Aerospace said on the 6th that it visited the Army 9th Infantry Division (Baekma Unit) to deliver consolation money and encourage the troops.

Hanwha formed a sisterhood relationship with the 9th Division in 1976, during the tenure of former Chairman Kim Chong-Hee. Established in 1950, the 9th Division led the Baekma Hill battle to victory during the Korean War and also deployed troops to the Vietnam War.

Brig. Gen. Kwon Young-woo, acting commander of the 9th Division, said, "The unwavering friendship with Hanwha over 49 years is a great strength," and added, "We will repay the support with an always-ready combat posture going forward."

Kang Jun-su, an executive at Hanwha Aerospace, said, "With a sense of duty to serve the nation through the defense industry, we will spare no effort to support the military and improve the welfare of the troops."
