China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has unveiled plans to extend its 15-day visa-free entry policy to six more European countries, a move aimed at fostering closer ties and boosting tourism after the pandemic.

According to the same authority, the countries that will benefit from this policy extension are as follows:

-Switzerland
-Ireland
-Hungary
-Austria
-Belgium
-Luxembourg

From March 14 to November 30, 2024, citizens with ordinary passports from these countries can enter China without a visa for various purposes, including business, tourism, visiting relatives and friends, and transit, reports SchengenVisaInfo.

The initiative is in line with China's broader strategy to revitalize its travel and tourism sector, which has been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Prolonged lockdown measures have significantly disrupted international travel in response to the crisis, prompting governments around the world to explore measures to reignite tourism./ CNA
