On March 5, 2024, an eye-catching diplomatic event kicked off in Beijing! **Director of the Consular Department Wu Xi and Saudi Arabia's Undersecretary of Consular Affairs Ali Youssef gathered together to co-chair the seventh round of consular consultations between China and Saudi Arabia. This is not only an important meeting between the two countries, but also a consular cooperation from a global perspective**!
Imagine delegates from various countries gathering together to have in-depth exchanges on issues such as facilitating people-to-people exchanges and safeguarding the safety and legitimate rights and interests of citizens abroad. This is not only a continuation of the consensus reached by the leaders of the two sides, but also a tacit cooperation on the international stage. Now, they have reached an agreement to further deepen consular cooperation and promote visa facilitation arrangements under the guidance of the important consensus of the leaders, so as to contribute to the development of the China-Saudi Arabia comprehensive strategic partnership.
Behind this meeting is the foundation of profound friendship and cooperation between the two countries. China and Saudi Arabia have always maintained close exchanges and cooperation, and consular consultations are an important part of this cooperative relationship. In the face of the challenges of the era of globalization, consular cooperation is not only a simple political consultation, but also to protect the legitimate rights and interests and security of the two peoples. The results of this meeting will provide more convenient conditions for personnel exchanges between the two countries, and at the same time, it will further consolidate the foundation for cooperation between the two countries in global affairs.
The Consular Express will continue to pay close attention to the progress of China-Saudi Arabia consular cooperation and bring the latest reports and interpretations to readers. Let us all hope that the friendship and cooperation between China and Saudi Arabia will usher in new development and contribute more to building a community with a shared future for mankind!
