According to the WeChat official account of the "Consular Direct Bus" of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on November 14th, the Consular Protection Center of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs recently released a new version of the "Guidelines for Consular Protection and Assistance in China". The new version of the guidelines is based on the spirit of the "Regulations of the People's Republic of China on Consular Protection and Assistance", which will be officially implemented on September 1, 2023, and will be updated in conjunction with changes in overseas security situations. For many years, the Consular Protection Center of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has continuously compiled and updated the "Guidelines for Consular Protection and Assistance in China", aiming to help Chinese citizens who are overseas and plan to go overseas better understand various overseas security risks, and enhance their security awareness and capabilities. The new version of the guide includes three parts: "Consular Protection and Assistance", "Overseas Travel Suggestions", and "Self prevention of Overseas Security Risks". It systematically introduces the scope of responsibilities for consular protection and assistance, practical suggestions for overseas travel, current various overseas security risks, and prevention and response measures. The Consular Protection Center expressed the hope that the guide can help everyone understand and master various security knowledge and information, enhance overseas security awareness and risk prevention capabilities, establish the concept of "the first person responsible for one's own overseas security", and achieve smooth departure and safe return. The content of the "Guidelines for Consular Protection and Assistance in China" can be found on the China Consular Service Network. (New News Agency)
