Hanwha Life signed a "Partnership for Cooperation in the Digital Finance Sector" with ADIO. Through this partnership, both parties will collaborate in three areas: fostering a digital finance ecosystem, connecting the financial and capital markets between Korea and Abu Dhabi, and advancing digital banking and financial innovation.

Hanwha Asset Management entered into a tripartite "Stablecoin and Financial Infrastructure Partnership" with ADGM and Hana Financial Group. With this agreement, Hanwha Asset Management aims to expand cross-border payment and remittance solutions between Korea and Abu Dhabi and support the growth of a sustainable and interoperable digital asset ecosystem. In addition, Hanwha Financial also signed an "Abu Dhabi Finance Week (ADFW) 2026 Partnership" agreement with ADGM.

With these collaborations, Hanwha Financial plans to further expand its Abu Dhabi financial network established at ADFW 2025 last year and will continue to strengthen its connections with the Middle East financial markets.

Fatima Al Hammadi of ADIO, which hosted the forum, stated, "Korea is a key partner market for Abu Dhabi with strong innovation capabilities and growth potential in the finance, digital, and technology sectors. Since Hanwha Financial is a partner with experience in the Asian financial market, global business capabilities, and strengths in digital financial innovation, I hope this partnership will lead to expanded practical cooperation, such as joint investments and business development."

Hyukwoong Kwon, Vice Chairman of Hanwha Life, commented, "With this agreement, we will develop our cooperation with Abu Dhabi into concrete business opportunities," adding, "Based on this foundation, Hanwha Life will further strengthen its position as a leading financial institution in the global market."
