A total of 391 Afghans, who helped the Korean government's activities in their war-torn country, will arrive in Korea today. They are being evacuated amid growing fears of possible Taliban retaliation against those who have aided the United States and its allies, the foreign ministry said, Wednesday.

전쟁으로 피폐해진 나라(아프가니스탄)에서 한국 정부를 도와 일했던 아프가니스탄인 391명이 오늘 한국에 도착한다. 외교부는 탈레반의 보복 가능성에 대한 우려가 커진 가운데 미국과 동맹국들을 도왔던 이들이 아프가니스탄을 빠져나왔다고 수요일 밝혔다.



Upon arrival, they will stay at a government-run training facility in Jincheon, North Chungcheong Province, which also accommodated hundreds of Koreans airlifted from the Chinese city of Wuhan last year amid mounting fears over COVID-19.

(이들은) 한국에 도착하면, 지난해 코로나19에 대한 두려움이 커지면서 수백 명의 우한 교민을 수용했던 충북 진천에 있는 국가공무원인재개발원에 머물 예정이다.



"Some 380 Afghans will be airlifted by military aircraft to Incheon International Airport, Thursday," Second Vice Foreign Minister Choi Jong-moon said in a briefing. The foreign ministry readjusted the number to 391 later in the day.

최종문 외교부 2차관은 브리핑을 통해 "약 380여 명의 아프간인들이 우리 군 수송기를 이용해 목요일 중 인천국제공항에 도착할 예정"이라고 밝혔다. 외교부는 이날 오후 391명으로 변경했다.



"They worked for years at the Korean embassy and with the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) as well a hospital and job training center run by the Korean government in Afghanistan," Choi said.

최 차관은 "이들은 수년간 한국대사관, 한국국제협력단(KOICA), 아프가니스탄에 위치한 바그람 한국병원 및 한국직업훈련원에서 근무한 바 있다"고 말했다.



The evacuees also include their family members, including some 100 children, he added.

그는 대피자 중 어린이 100여 명이 포함된 가족도 있다고 덧붙였다.
