[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo In-ho] An additional 13 Afghans have arrived in South Korea. With their arrival, all 390 individuals planned by the government have safely completed their entry.


On the 27th, a government official stated, “A military transport aircraft (C-130J) departing from the intermediate stopover in Pakistan arrived at Incheon International Airport at 1:07 PM today, carrying 13 Afghans who had previously assisted Korea.”


They departed separately due to insufficient space on the KC-330 that arrived the previous day. After undergoing COVID-19 testing and confirming negative results, they will move to the National Human Resources Development Institute in Jincheon, Chungbuk, to receive settlement education and other support.



Initially, the government announced the transfer of a total of 391 people, but upon identity verification in Pakistan, one individual was found not to be on the transfer list and was taken back to Kabul Airport to be handed over to the U.S. military.
