"The Polish armed forces will join the international coalition established by France to support the preparations and security of the 2024 Summer Olympics," Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz said in a post on the X social media platform.
"A task force of our soldiers, including dog handlers, will be sent to Paris," he added. "Its main goal will be to undertake activities related to the detection of explosives and counteracting terrorism."
France raised its terror alert level following last week's terrorist attack in Russia, just a few months before the Games kick off in late July, the Reuters news agency reported.
In mid-March, Paris authorities strengthened the police presence in the northern suburb of La Courneuve near the Olympic Village after an attack on a police station in the area, according to Reuters.
The 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris will take place from July 26 to August 11.
