On March 7, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said in response to a question from a reporter from China News Agency that China will launch the "Spring Seed Operation" to actively assist and strive to vaccinate overseas compatriots with domestic or foreign vaccines.

More than 50 countries are gradually including Chinese citizens in their national vaccination plans, and many Chinese citizens are receiving Chinese vaccines in accordance with the law.

In the next step, we are also preparing to set up regional vaccination sites for domestically produced vaccines in countries where conditions permit to provide services to compatriots in neighbouring countries in need.

  Wang Yi said that China will issue an international travel health certificate.

Under the premise of fully protecting personal privacy, mutual verification of information such as nucleic acid testing and vaccination will be realized to facilitate safe and orderly personnel exchanges.

The "Chinese Consulate APP" will be launched in May, allowing overseas compatriots to directly access the embassies and consulates abroad with one click, enabling "handheld office", "zero errands", and "all-weather" online processing of overseas Chinese citizens' travel documents and consular insurance services.
