On the morning of the 29th, the press center for the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the victory of the China People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War held a second press conference to introduce the situation of adhering to peaceful development and promoting the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind, and answer questions from reporters.

Newspapers are quick.

A reporter asked: Last year, China safely withdrew more than 10,000 compatriots from abroad. This year, after the outbreak of the Iraq-Israel conflict, China immediately adopted a series of consular protection measures to effectively ensure the safety of local Chinese citizens and institutions, and quickly organized the evacuation of overseas Chinese. So as more and more Chinese citizens go abroad, how will the Ministry of Foreign Affairs better protect the legitimate rights and interests of overseas Chinese citizens?

Vice Foreign Minister Ma Zhaoxu introduced,Since this year, we have safely evacuated thousands of compatriots from war-torn areas, properly handled tens of thousands of insurance cases, received about 300,000 calls for advice and issued more than 2,000 warnings.Many compatriots lamented, "In times of crisis, the motherland is never absent." "Even if there are thousands of miles to return, the motherland will take us home."

With the substantial increase of personnel exchanges between China and foreign countries, China's overseas interests are expanding day by day, and the responsibility of diplomacy for the people is getting heavier and heavier. We will closely follow the needs and expectations of the people and continue to make efforts to build an overseas safe China system.

We will give full play to the advantages of the system to further improve the overseas security system and mechanism, and improve the security work pattern of linkage, coordination, pragmatism and efficiency.

We will continue to improve our perception of overseas safety risks, optimize the "red, orange, yellow and blue" risk rating system, and issue safety reminders in a timely manner to make overseas safety "signal lights" more eye-catching and effective.

We will strengthen the capacity building for emergency response to foreign-related security emergencies. Wherever Chinese citizens go, consular protection will follow, and I will respond to my compatriots' calls.

We will continue to build a professional consular protection team and work hard to safeguard the safety of our overseas compatriots and institutions.

Serving the people, the mission is like a rock. Diplomacy for the people can only be carried out, not completed. China's diplomacy will continue to uphold the people-centered purpose, be a caring person of the people, and be a guardian of the safety and interests of overseas compatriots. No matter where you are, the motherland will always be behind you.
