中俄便利公民往来协议生效 赴俄签证手续简化|赴俄签证手续|中俄便利公民往来_新闻资讯

　　据外交部网站消息，《中华人民共和国政府和俄罗斯联邦政府关于便利公民往来的协议》于4月26日起生效。协议规定，互免双方持外交、公务护照人员签证，简化双方执行国家间、部门间合作人员以及从事商务、运输、文教、体育交流活动人员签证手续。这意味着今后赴俄罗斯将更加便捷。有过赴俄出差经历的朋友可能知道，以往办理赴俄签证的周期比较长，今后办理有关签证的手续将得到简化，办理时间自然将相应缩短。此外，双方持公务护照人员今后可以免签入境对方国家，极大方便了公务人员往来。

　　中俄《便利公民往来协议》的实施顺应了中俄关系发展需要。近年来，两国关系始终保持强劲发展势头。政治上，高层交往密切、各层级合作机制高效运行，双方在涉及彼此核心利益和重大关切问题上相互坚定支持；务实合作方面，双边贸易额稳步提升，2013年达到近900亿美元，我国连续第四年成为俄罗斯的第一大贸易国，双方在能源、金融、航天航空等领域合作如火如荼；人文交流方面，两国连续举办“国家年”、“语言年”、“旅游年”、“青年友好交流年”等大型活动，两国民众交往热情空前高涨。随着中俄友好关系大发展、各领域交流与合作迅速扩大，两国人员往来数量不断增加，双方迫切需要采取措施简化人员往来手续，以适应形势发展需要，中俄《便利公民往来协议》应运而生。

　　中俄《便利公民往来协议》的实施将为中俄各领域友好交流与合作提供有力支持。俄罗斯对外国人入境的管理是比较严格的。客观而言，这是可以理解的。毕竟俄罗斯1700多万平方公里的广袤土地上，只有1.4亿人口，不少省会级城市，人口不过20、30万。因而，俄方对外国人发放签证的数量会有所控制，有时审核的周期会比较长。这会让一些想去俄罗斯投资、经商的人担心因为办不下签证而影响合作项目。这最终会影响他们对俄合作的热情和积极性。这次中俄《便利公民往来协议》生效后，办理赴俄签证手续简化、相互往来更加便利，可以大大增强双方合作的信心。另一方面，两国民众接触的机会多了，相互了解不断加深，更容易拓展新的合作领域和项目。可以肯定地说，中俄《便利公民往来协议》的实施将为今后中俄各领域交流合作创造了更好条件。

　　中俄关系发展催生了《便利公民往来协议》，反过来该协议的实施也将为中俄关系发展提供有力支持。相信中俄《便利公民往来协议》生效后，两国人员往来将掀开新的一页，双方友好交流与合作也将迎来更加美好的未来。
