Japan's Foreign Ministry is expanding a service that provides free legal consultations to Japanese nationals and their families who have been victims of crimes abroad. The service, initially launched in China following a stabbing incident, has since been extended to the Philippines and Thailand. It aims to assist victims in understanding local legal procedures and seeking damages. The ministry plans to roll out the service in more countries, focusing on areas with high incident rates and large Japanese populations.
