Ministry of Foreign Affairs: "19 Detained Citizens in Myanmar Moved to a Safe Location"
Early October Detention by Illegal Myanmar Company
Safety Request... 19 People Secured by Late October
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that all 19 Korean nationals who were detained in the Tachileik area of Myanmar have been moved to a safe location.
According to the Ministry, in early October, reports were received by the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Myanmar and other offices that Korean nationals were being detained by an illegal company in the Tachileik area of Myanmar.
The embassy relayed this information to the Myanmar police and requested prompt action to ensure the safety of the Korean nationals. Subsequently, in late October, the Myanmar police searched the company and secured the custody of the 19 Korean nationals.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated, "All 19 Korean nationals were safely transferred to Yangon by the Myanmar police on the 13th," and added, "The Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Myanmar closely cooperated with the Korean National Police Agency and other related organizations to provide necessary consular assistance."
Going forward, the Ministry will continue preventive activities to avoid crime victimization and actively provide related consular support.
