The Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced it will dispatch a government joint rapid response team to Nagoya during the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games to support the prevention and response to incidents involving South Korean citizens.
According to the ministry, the rapid response team consists of nine personnel from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the National Intelligence Service, and the Anti-Terrorism Center, divided into three groups. They will be deployed from today until October 4. The team plans to engage in activities such as preventing incidents involving South Korean citizens, establishing cooperative relationships with local law enforcement, and monitoring security and terrorism trends.
With the Chuseok holiday approaching (September 24-26), a significant increase in South Korean visitors to Nagoya is expected. Consequently, the team will conduct safety inspections near stadiums and major tourist sites, promote overseas safety travel for visitors, and ensure prompt consular assistance in the event of incidents to prioritize the safety of South Korean citizens.
