The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reminds Chinese citizens in France to strengthen security measures, as riots continue to occur in many parts of France to protect them. Consul | Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Recently, riots have continued in many parts of France. A Chinese tour group was traveling in Marseille when the window of a bus was smashed, causing minor injuries to many people. The Consulate General in Marseille immediately activated the consular protection emergency mechanism, assisted the tour group to report to the police and emergency treatment, and treated and comforted the injured; immediately made representations to the French side to ensure the personal and property safety of Chinese citizens; contacted local overseas Chinese groups and tourism practitioners to remind everyone to pay attention to safety and strengthen prevention. At present, the tourists have left France for home.
The Consular Protection Center of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Chinese Embassy and Consulate in France once again remind Chinese citizens in France to closely monitor the local social security situation, stay away from areas of protests and violent conflicts, strengthen personal, vehicle, residential, and commercial safety precautions, and especially remind temporary visitors to France to be vigilant and cautious when going out. In case of emergency, please report to the police promptly and contact the Chinese Embassy and Consulate in France for assistance.
