Q：“外交部發言人辦公室”消息，在12月5日外交部例行記者會上，總臺央視記者提問：12月1日起，中方對法國、德國、意大利、荷蘭、西班牙、馬來西亞6國實施免簽入境政策，請問政策實施的效果如何？發言人能否介紹具體情況？
A：汪文斌：為進一步便利中外人員往來，服務高質量發展和高水平對外開放，中方自12月1日起對法、德等6國實施單方面免簽入境政策，取得積極成效。根據國家移民管理局統計，12月1日至3日，相關國家人員入境數量持續上升，6國共有近1.8萬人次入境中國，日均入境人次較11月30日增長39%。其中，有近7千人次是通過免簽來華，占到6國入境總人次的39%，這充分表明單方面免簽政策確實給6國民眾帶來了實實在在的便利。下一步，外交部將持續優化簽證政策，積極創造有利條件，為暢通中外人員往來提供更多便利。
Q:CCTV:China started to extend unilateral visa-free policy to six countries, namely France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Malaysia on December 1. Do you have any update on the effects of the policy? Do you have any additional information to share?
A:Wang Wenbin: To further facilitate cross-border travel and China’s high-quality development and high-standard opening up, China started to extend unilateral visa-free policy to six countries including France and Germany on December 1. The policy has produced positive effects. According to data from the National Immigration Administration, from December 1 to 3, there was a continued increase of entries from these countries. Nearly 18,000 travelers from the six countries entered China, with the daily average up by 39 percent from November 30. Nearly 7,000 of these travelers or 39 percent of the total came on the visa-free policy. From these numbers we can see how the unilateral visa-free policy is making things easier for travelers of the six countries. Going forward, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will continue to adjust visa policies to create more favorable conditions and further facilitate cross-border travel.
