(Fighting New Coronary Pneumonia) Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines: Major adjustments to flights to China will supervise airlines to make refunds and changes
China News Service, Manila, September 19 (Reporter Guan Xiangdong) The Chinese Embassy in the Philippines issued a notice on September 19 that the Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Huang Xilian said when inspecting the embassy’s consular office a few days ago that it is understood that flights to China will undergo major adjustments. The embassy will continue to supervise and guide airlines to take up their responsibilities and make arrangements for refunds and visa changes to protect the legitimate rights and interests of passengers.
Huang Xilian focused on inspections and guided the work of epidemic prevention and control, consular protection, document services, etc. of the Consular Section of the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines, accompanied by Counselor Wang Yue of the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines.
Huang Xilian pointed out that the current epidemic situation in the Philippines is very severe. Although the majority of compatriots in the Philippines have been vaccinated, they still face a prominent risk of infection. The densely populated and airtight airplane cabin is one of the most likely scenarios for virus infection. Whether the inspection is done well, the control is not strict, and the protection is not tight, it is directly related to the health and safety of every passenger on the plane. All domestic deployment requirements must be strictly implemented, at all costs, and all difficulties must be overcome to stop the risk of infection and spread of the epidemic caused by travel. This is not only the most powerful protection for passengers going to China, but also the most powerful protection for relatives in the motherland. At the same time, we must continue to remind everyone to stop paralyzing their minds, reduce unnecessary travel and social activities, insist on “non-essential, non-urgent, and non-travel”, and take personal protection.
Huang Xilian emphasized that under the epidemic, compatriots in the Philippines are facing many difficulties, and they must do their best to do consular protection and assistance work, solve problems for everyone as far as possible within the scope of the policy, and ensure that all channels of help such as hotline, WeChat platform, and e-mail are open and unimpeded. .
Huang Xilian also learned in detail about the overall progress of the online application for passports and travel certificates in the recently launched “Chinese Consulate” APP, as well as the specific conditions of each work link, and personally operated the processes of online application submission and background review. He asked to continue to improve the work process, further improve work efficiency and user experience, and maximize the effectiveness of the “Chinese Consul” APP. At the same time, we will continue to improve the “science and technology content” of our work and provide more intimate and convenient services to our compatriots.
Huang Xilian encouraged all the comrades in the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office to continue to overcome difficulties, stick to their posts, and provide various services for compatriots in the Philippines, and at the same time strengthen their own protection and do a good job in internal epidemic prevention and control.
