国家移民管理局相关负责人介绍，中国自2013年1月实施72/144小时过境免签政策以来，过境免签政策在服务国家高水平对外开放、便利中外人员往来、促进对外交流合作方面发挥了重要作用。此次在两省扩大实施144小时过境免签政策为外籍人员来华旅游、商贸提供了更多选择。

The NIA statement said the expansion of the visa-free policy is expected to provide more choices for foreign nationals traveling and doing business in China.

下一步，国家移民管理局将不断改进优化过境免签政策，持续深入推进移民管理制度型开放，以更加开放的姿态欢迎外籍人员来华，全力服务促进高水平开放高质量发展。

It said the 72/144-hour visa-free transit policy has played an important role in the country's high-level opening-up, facilitating the exchange of people between China and other countries, and promoting exchanges and cooperation. It pledged to continue to improve and optimize the policy and welcome foreign visitors with a more open mind.
