11月25日至27日，外交部領事司領事保護中心常務副主任、參贊楊舒率首期駐外使領館領保聯(lián)絡員及安全聯(lián)防機制負責人培訓班來渝進行參觀訪問。

近年來，境外中國公民安全事件呈多點爆發(fā)態(tài)勢。為深入挖掘駐在國當?shù)刭Y源，有力保護我國公民安全，我駐外使領館積極試行聘用當?shù)厝A人華僑作為領保聯(lián)絡員，建立安全聯(lián)防機制協(xié)助開展領事保護與協(xié)助工作，加強對當?shù)刂袊竦念I保力度。這已成為豐富使領館領事保護與協(xié)助工作手段的重要舉措，對提高領事工作水平與服務能力具有重要意義。對于“領保聯(lián)絡員”的作用，外交部領事司領保中心常務副主任、參贊楊舒在接受記者采訪時稱：目前中國公民幾乎遍布全世界各個大中城市，而使領館機構和人員是有限的，因此充分利用民間渠道和力量成為一個新思路和新舉措。比如中國公民在海外遭遇突發(fā)狀況而使領館工作人員無法第一時間趕到時，就可請聯(lián)絡員盡快到現(xiàn)場了解。一方面縮短了使領館了解情況的時間，另一方面也可以盡快把政府的關懷傳遞出去。楊舒特別強調，領保聯(lián)絡員主要由當?shù)氐娜A人華僑組成，不是使領館的正式工作人員，而是類似于志愿者，為中國公民提供服務。

In recent years,security events of overseas Chinese citizens have scattered around the rest of world, China’s overseas embassies and consulates had a positive try to employ local Chinese and overseas Chinese as consular protection liaisons and establish a reliable security defense mechanism to assist in the consular protection and other aff airs and strengthen the protection of local Chinese citizens. It has serviced as an important measure for enriching the consular protection and assistance with great significance to improve the level of consular works and service capability. Concerning the role of “consular protection liaison”, Mr. Yang recently told us in a interview, “At present Chinese citizens spread around large and medium-sized cities of the rest of the world, and institutions and personnel of the overseas embassies and consulates are limited, so that civil channels and strength should be fully pooled as a new idea and a new initiative. For example, if a Chinese citizen in a foreign country encounters the emergency situation and the consular staff s can not be on the site the fi rst time, the consular staffs can ask the liaison to be there as soon as possible to know the situation. On the one hand, the time for embassies and consulates to ask for the information will be shortened, and on the other hand, our government's care to them can be passed down as soon as possible. Mr. Yang stressed that consular protection liaisons are mainly composed of local and overseas Chinese instead of the offi cial staff s of embassies and consulates, and their work is similar to volunteers' to provide services for Chinese citizens.

During the visit in Chongqing, in careful and detailed arrangement of the Foreign Affairs Office of Municipal Government, the delegation made an in-depth understanding of Chongqing’s unique history, culture and achievements gained from reform and development by visiting the Planning Museum of the Liangjiang New Area ( Liangjiang means two Chinese rives named Yangtze River and Jialing River), the Internet Industry Park, the Hongyan Revolutionary Memorial Hall, and the West Logistics Park of Chongqing. Trainees all expressed great admiration to achievements gained by the openingup in Chongqing and its export-oriented economic development, and proposed some suggestions on how to deal with overseas security risks. Mr. Yang had an exclusive interview about topics including“The Overall Situation and Characteristics of 2016 Overseas Security Risks of Chinese Citizens” and “The Importance of Improving the Awareness and Ability of Preventing from Overseas Security Risk”.
