On May 29, 2008, the Defense Minister signed a decision on establishing the MND’s Social Insurance Agency. In 2017, under the direction of the Standing Committee of the Central Military Commission, the GDP directed the MND’s Social Insurance Agency to report on the nine-year implementation of the social and medical insurance work. The report was a foundation for the stable operation of the unit as a specialized and independent agency in charge of the social and medical insurance work in the military until now.
