According to the Prime Minister's Office on Monday, the measures are part of coordinated efforts by relevant agencies to ensure a proactive response to a potential rise in terror threats and other crimes during the multilateral gathering scheduled for Oct. 31 to Nov. 1.
Specifically, from Oct. 28 to Nov. 1, the alert level will be further raised in the summit venue of Gyeongju, as well as in nearby provincial areas including Busan, Daegu, and Ulsan.
Authorities will also boost security and increase patrols at major venues and public facilities, while reinforcing joint response systems to address any incidents promptly.
"While increased security measures, such as traffic controls and expanded screenings, may cause inconvenience to citizens and visitors, they are necessary to ensure safety during the summit. We ask for your understanding and cooperation," said an official from the office.
