To put into practice the principle of foreign affairs for the people and further raise overseas risk awareness among Beijing residents, the Beijing Foreign Affairs Office recently launches a series of Consular Protection Lectures by experts at Beijing No. 161 High School, Longzeyuan Community, and BAIC International Development Co., Ltd. The activities provided consular protection and overseas safety information tailored to different audiences, including students, community residents, and enterprises engaged in international business, bringing consular protection knowledge straight to the public.
