Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) announced on August 21 that it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Institute for National Security Strategy (INSS) on August 20 to collaborate on global security environment analysis and defense policy.
The signing ceremony was attended by KAI CEO Kim Jong-chul and INSS Director Kim Sung-bae. The two organizations aim to enhance their analytical capabilities regarding the global defense market and strengthen export competitiveness.
This MOU seeks to bolster joint research and policy collaboration on the global security and defense environment, leveraging KAI's expertise in aerospace and defense and INSS's research capabilities in security and policy.
Based on public-private cooperation, the two institutions will synergize their expertise to pursue initiatives such as global security and export environment analysis, defense system improvement and policy research, academic and policy exchanges related to defense policy, and joint seminars and forums.
INSS will analyze the impact of changing international circumstances on K-defense and the policy and diplomatic environments of potential export markets. KAI plans to use this information to enhance its technological competitiveness and inform its export strategy, thereby improving its capacity to enter overseas markets.
Kim Jong-chul, CEO of KAI, stated, "Through collaboration with specialized institutions in the rapidly changing international defense market, we will secure accurate information and establish a policy and institutional foundation to support exports and technology development. We will strengthen our foundation to proactively respond to the global security environment."
Kim Sung-bae, Director of INSS, remarked, "We will build an effective cooperation model by linking the security and policy research capabilities accumulated by the institute with KAI's on-the-ground experience in the aerospace industry."
