Notice for Students

January 25,2021

With reference to Embassy of Pakistan’s earlier Notice for Students dated 08 October 2020 regarding the return of Pakistani students to China, Pakistani students may please note the following press statement in this behalf by the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson:
 
“As COVID-19 spreads across the world, all countries are taking due measures to prevent and contain the virus based on their own conditions. I believe this should be understood and observed with efforts by both Chinese and foreign nationals. Regarding the foreign students hoping to return to China for their studies, my principled response is that the Chinese government attached high importance to protecting the rights and interests of foreign students in China. Academic institutions are required to keep in close contact with those students abroad, make good arrangements for online courses, and properly address their legitimate concerns and appeals. On the precondition of observing containment protocols, the Chinese authorities will study this matter in a coordinated manner and keep in communication with relevant parties.”  
 
Pakistani students may, therefore, please stay in touch with their respective universities as well as feel free to contact the Embassy of Pakistan regarding any update in the matter.
