The Presidential Security Service announced the establishment of a safety control team on July 24, in preparation for the '2026 Korea-Central Asia Summit' scheduled to take place in Seoul this September.
The safety control team, led by the Security Planning and Coordination Office, consists of five divisions: the Security Operations Headquarters, Military Operations Headquarters, Police Operations Headquarters, Fire Operations Headquarters, and Terrorism Information Support Headquarters. The team will oversee the safety of delegations, including heads of state, and manage security at various event venues.
Particularly for this summit, which will be held in downtown Seoul, the security service emphasized its commitment to ensuring safety while minimizing public inconvenience. Plans are in place to limit traffic disruptions and enhance traffic information dissemination.
Hwang In-gwon, head of the Presidential Security Service, stated, “We will showcase world-class ‘K-security’ by integrating the expertise gained from numerous multilateral summits with advanced technology. We aim to harmonize perfect security with minimal public inconvenience through restrained control, ensuring that this summit becomes a successful national celebration.”
