在此次西旅會上，市政府外事僑務(wù)辦工作人員在現(xiàn)場為市民詳細講解領(lǐng)保知識，如在什么情況下可尋求領(lǐng)事保護、領(lǐng)事官員可以為出國人員做什么、出國前后注意事項等，并現(xiàn)場推廣“12308”全球應(yīng)急呼叫熱線和微信小程序等領(lǐng)保便民服務(wù)渠道，使市民提高海外安全意識，加強對海外領(lǐng)保工作的認識。

開幕式當(dāng)日，譚家玲副市長親臨展臺指導(dǎo)工作。而參展市民反響熱烈，紛紛掃碼并取閱資料詳細了解海外安全及領(lǐng)保常識，直呼“貼心、及時、管用！”。海外領(lǐng)事保護工作使市民真切感受到外事工作“接地氣、惠民生”“中國腳步走到哪里，中國保護就會跟到哪里”。
