Kazakhstan to Assign Police Attaché to Embassy in South Korea

Kazakhstan's Ministry of Labor and Social Protection has announced plans to enhance oversight of Kazakh citizens migrating to South Korea.

As part of this effort, the Kazakh Embassy in Seoul will appoint a Police Attaché to monitor migration-related issues and ensure better coordination with local authorities, The Caspian Post reports, citing Kazinform.

To that end, First Vice-Minister of Labor and Social Protection Askarbek Yertayev met with representatives from Kazakhstan's Ministries of Internal Affairs and Foreign Affairs.

The meeting focused on combating illegal migration and ensuring the legal residence of Kazakhstan citizens in the Republic of Korea.

Following the discussions, a decision was made to soon appoint a Police Attaché to the Kazakh Embassy in South Korea. The Attaché's role will be to monitor the stay of Kazakhstan citizens, including identifying cases of illegal migration and unauthorized employment.

All identified violations will be immediately registered and submitted for further action by the relevant authorities in both the Republic of Kazakhstan and Republic of Korea.
