KR · · Korea Times

As governments scramble to strengthen their military readiness in an increasingly uncertain security environment, Hanwha joined defense ministers, military leaders and industry executives in Singapore last week to help shape the conversation on the future of allied defense cooperation. Hanwha said that it participated in the 23rd International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) Asia Security Summit, better known as the Shangri-La Dialogue, held in Singapore from Thursday through Saturday. The annual gathering is one of the world's most prominent defense and security forums, bringing together senior officials and industry leaders to discuss emerging geopolitical and military challenges. This year's discussions focused heavily on strengthening alliances, expanding defense industrial capacity and accelerating the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into defense systems, according to Hanwha. The company said it engaged with senior government officials from the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore and other countries, as well as executives from major global defense firms. A
