Hana Financial, veterans ministry join hands to improve national cemetery

Hana Financial Group has entered into an agreement with South Korea's Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs to enhance the conditions at the nation's national cemeteries. The two entities signed a memorandum of understanding at the National Cemetery in Seoul's Dongjak District earlier in the week. Hana Financial Group's Chairman, Ham Young-joo, and Veterans Minister Kwon Oh-eul were present to sign the agreement.

The deal aims to strengthen collaboration in preserving the legacy of veterans' sacrifices and dedication, as well as fostering a culture of honoring those who served the country and their families. This agreement was timed to coincide with the upcoming August 15 Liberation Day holiday. The initiative seeks to pay tribute to veterans who devoted their lives to the nation through the refurbishment of aging grave markers at national cemeteries and the creation of a more welcoming environment for visiting families.

Hana Financial will be responsible for carrying out maintenance work on approximately 2,000 grave markers at two key cemeteries. At Daejeon National Cemetery, they will be focusing on the section dedicated to independence activists, while at Seoul National Cemetery, their efforts will be concentrated on the sections reserved for military personnel.
