The New Zealand Olympic Committee (NZOC) says it would have no hesitation in pulling out of the Delhi Commonwealth Games if it felt its athletes were not safe.
Concerns have been raised about security in the region ever since an attack on Sri Lankan cricketers in Lahore, Pakistan last year, though Games organisers have promised a high level of protection at the Delhi event, which begins on October 3.
"Anyone suggesting that we are going to put our athletes at risk is mischievous," NZOC president Mike Stanley said.
"Right now, New Zealand is planning to be in Delhi. If things change and the New Zealand Government can't advise us that our athletes are secure in that environment, then we won't go."
