China News Agency reporter Ma Jiajia
"We are willing to continue to use our actions to tell every overseas compatriot that no matter what time or where you are, you have us by your side, and your motherland is behind you."
"Overseas compatriots can't go home for a while, so we bring the warmth of home to them."
At the press conference of the Fifth Session of the 13th National People's Congress held on the 7th, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi made a warm message to overseas compatriots.
At a time when the situation in Ukraine continues to be tense and the people of the motherland are concerned about the safety of Ukrainian compatriots overseas, such a voice has warmth, attitude and strength.
When the situation in Ukraine suddenly escalated, the compatriots in it touched the hearts of the people.
The Chinese embassy in Ukraine issued a safety reminder in a timely manner, and the Chinese ambassador in Ukraine has repeatedly said: No matter how difficult or dangerous, we have never abandoned our compatriots, and the embassy will never put everyone’s safety at risk.
During the call between the Chinese and Uzbek foreign ministers, China hopes that Uzbekistan will take all necessary measures to ensure the safety of Chinese citizens in Uzbekistan and continue to provide guarantee and convenience for the evacuation of Chinese citizens.
In order to ensure the safety of Chinese citizens in Uzbekistan, Chinese diplomats have made great efforts to issue safety warnings, organize safety avoidance, seize the time window, and organize emergency evacuation operations.
According to reports, since March 5, four flights to pick up and return Chinese citizens evacuated from Ukraine have arrived in China, and multiple charter flights have been coordinated to pick up Ukrainian citizens from Europe one after another.
According to the latest news from the Chinese Embassy in Ukraine on the 7th, at present, most of the Chinese compatriots in Ukraine have been evacuated.
The world is so big and not peaceful, and the motherland is the strong backing of all overseas citizens.
As Chinese citizens and enterprises spread overseas, Chinese consular protection and assistance is increasing.
From Solomon to Libya, from Yemen to Afghanistan, from Ethiopia to Ukraine, national operations time after time have paved the way for Chinese citizens in danger and danger to return home safely.
Going backwards again and again, China's diplomacy uses actions to explain to overseas compatriots that although they are in a foreign land, "the motherland is behind you".
At present, the global epidemic is spreading ups and downs, the century-old changes are accelerating, the world is facing turbulent challenges, and in the face of the changing situation overseas, there is still a long way to go to safeguard the rights and interests of overseas Chinese citizens.
Wang Yi reiterated on the 7th that diplomacy for the people is always on the way.
In the new year, Chinese diplomats will continue to be good guardians of the interests of overseas compatriots: build a "smart consular platform"; build an "overseas safe China system"; and launch a "healthy and smooth travel plan".
From "diplomacy for the people, not one of them should be left behind; even if the epidemic does not retreat, diplomats will not retire", to "use actions to tell overseas compatriots that there is a motherland behind you", the solemn commitment of China's diplomacy is changing from a solemn commitment to all overseas citizens consensus.
But keeping the safety of overseas compatriots in mind, and constantly responding to the concerns of compatriots with care and protection, the value background of China's diplomacy has become more prominent.
