France's Interior Ministry said Friday that 45 countries have been asked to provide police officers and civilian personnel to help safeguard the Paris Olympics this summer.
The security context, particularly in recent weeks, means that there is extreme vigilance regarding the security of these Olympic Games.
Even without the Olympics, France has often been the target of terrorist attacks in recent years, the biggest having come in Paris in 2015 and Nice a year later.
The French request for nearly 2,185 reinforcements to help secure the Olympic Games is standard practice for big sporting events.
