The meeting called for stronger care and support for Chinese citizens overseas, saying that diplomatic missions abroad must enhance consular protection, guidance and support in terms of providing protective materials to ensure their health and safety.
Another set of regulations, focused on consular protection and assistance, will also be implemented starting from Sept 1.
The regulations outline the conditions under which consular protection and assistance would be provided by China's diplomatic missions stationed abroad.
Strengthened rules to ensure lives and rights of nationals, businesses abroad welcomedThe latest regulation on consular protection and assistance will guarantee the protection of the lives and interests of Chinese citizens abroad at a time when an increasing number of residents and business are going global, senior officials and experts said.
The Regulation on Consular Affairs, unveiled by the State Council on July 14, clarified the responsibilities of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, State Council departments and Chinese diplomatic missions overseas in terms of offering consular protection.
It was released following the growing number of evacuations and cases of consular protection in recent years.
According to the Foreign Ministry, China has organized nearly 20 evacuations and has handled more than 500,000 cases of consular protection involving millions of nationals over the past 10 years.
The 24-hour 12308 hotline for consular services has received over 3 million calls since its launch in 2014.
Last year, the Foreign Ministry and China's overseas diplomatic missions handled around 70,000 cases of consular protection, and the hotline received 500,000 phone calls.
Deng Li, vice-minister of foreign affairs, told a news briefing on July 14 that the ministry will take steps to improve the consular protection abilities of diplomatic missions, while encouraging insurance companies, law firms and security companies to get involved in the protection of overseas citizens.
He said the ministry encourages citizens abroad, or those who plan to travel overseas, to register through the China Consular Affairs mobile app to secure better access to consular services.
She cited figures showing that the number of consular protection and assistance cases has been increasing on a yearly basis, which makes the introduction of legislation in this regard even more urgent.
She said that one of the major highlights of the new regulation is that it makes clear that overseas diplomatic missions are the primary entities responsible for consular protection.
He explained that the complex global security landscape, and higher expectations for consular protection, have made work even more challenging for China's overseas diplomatic missions.
Yao said that challenges to consular protection are particularly notable this year, with domestic politics heating up as Bangladesh prepares to hold a general election in January next year.
Another challenge embassies face is the variety of meticulous consular services they must provide.
In order to provide more professional consular service, he highlighted the need to study local laws and regulations in greater depth, and to focus on the security interests of small-sized businesses in remote regions.
Shao Zheng, the charge d'affaires at the Chinese embassy in Yemen, said that he believes the new regulation will help make China's consular affairs more efficient and convenient in general, and help Chinese expatriates solve the problems that trouble them the most.
Consular affairs in Yemen have been particularly challenging since 2014, when a civil war broke out in the Arab country, leading to a major humanitarian crisis.
Shao said the embassy has been trying its best to offer consular protection and assistance through multiple channels, while repeatedly urging the Yemenis to protect Chinese facilities and personnel.
"It also highlighted the importance of developing regular, institutionalized mechanisms for consular protection assistance so that everybody works in close coordination during times of danger," he added.
A regulation on consular affairs was unveiled by the State Council on Friday in a bid to make China's consular protection and assistance more law-based, institutionalized and standardized to promote the safety and interests of overseas Chinese.
The 27-item regulation on consular protection and assistance will come into effect on Sept 1.
Vice-Foreign Minister Deng Li told a news briefing on Friday that the regulation clarified responsibilities of various departments involved in consular protection and assistance, such as the Foreign Ministry, Chinese diplomatic missions overseas and relevant departments of the State Council.
According to Deng, China has organized nearly 20 evacuation operations and has handled more than 500,000 cases of consular protection involving millions of Chinese nationals over the past 10 years.
The 24-hour 12308 hotline for consular service has received over 3 million calls since being launched in 2014.
"Wherever Chinese citizens go overseas, our consular protection and assistance must follow," Deng said.
Zhang Yaoming, director of the first bureau of legislation of the Ministry of Justice, said Chinese diplomatic institutions stationed overseas provide timely consular assistance and protection to Chinese citizens, legal persons and unincorporated organizations abroad when their legitimate rights and interests are infringed upon or they need help.
The country has been staying committed to people-centered principle in consular workThe Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday that it has organized nearly 20 evacuation operations and has handled more than 500,000 cases of consular protection involving millions of Chinese nationals over the past 10 years.
The 12308 hotline has received over 3 million calls since being launched in 2014, Director-General of the Department of Consular Affairs at the Foreign Ministry Wu Xi told media in Beijing.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Foreign Ministry and China's diplomatic and consular missions abroad rolled out a Spring Sprout program to vaccinate more than 4.6 million Chinese nationals living and working abroad, Wu said.
From assisting Chinese nationals in the fight against the pandemic to evacuating them from war-torn countries, China has been staying committed to the people-centered principle in consular work, keeping in mind the safety and well-being of every fellow countryman and countrywoman abroad, she said.
