Other countries, such as / other events, including

"While Seoul is not a member of the military alliance, it has been invited as a partner along with other countries such as Japan, Australia and New Zealand."

Should be there a comma there in front of such as like other countries, such as Japan, Australia and New Zealand?

"She plans to attend sessions for the leaders' spouses and other events including a guided tour of the royal palace as well as a dinner with Korean residents in Spain."

Should be there a comma there in front of including like other events, including a guided tour of the royal palace?


What do you native English speakers think? Thank you so much as usual in advance.

Yes, otherwise we are invited to figure out what those other countries have in common aside from their having been invited. The sentence rings a bit false in its entirety, by the way.
