The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced plans to deploy a rapid response team to Nagoya, Japan for the 2026 Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games. This nine-member team, comprising officials from the foreign ministry, the National Intelligence Service, and the National Counter-Terrorism Center, will operate from Thursday until October 4th. Their mission is to prevent and respond to incidents involving Korean nationals in Nagoya.
The deployment is particularly timely given the expected surge in Korean tourism to Nagoya during the Chuseok holiday season. During this period, the number of Korean visitors is anticipated to increase significantly.
The team's objectives include preventing incidents involving Koreans, establishing a cooperative relationship with local security authorities, and monitoring security and terrorism trends. They will carry out safety checks at competition venues and major tourist sites, promote safe traveling for Korean nationals overseas, and provide prompt consular assistance in the event of any incidents.
