On the afternoon of March 6th, the Guangdong delegation held an open group meeting at the third session of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC). A total of 267 journalists from over a hundred domestic and international media outlets entered the venue with their cameras, taking close-up shots and documenting the delegates' deliberations and speeches. Following last year's ''special invitation'', Guangdong once again broke traditional barriers, inviting the media to get up close to the delegates, showcasing its open stance.

During the Guangdong Delegation's open day on March 7th, 2024, the invitation to ''Let our journalist friends come to the front to take photos'' was met with thunderous applause.

This year, Guangdong took openness a step further. From the very beginningof the meeting, there were no restrictions on media access. Journalists, both domestic and international, were able to enter the hall and take close-up shots.

''The moment journalists were invited into the hall last year left a deep impression on me. I was the first reporter to step inside,'' recalled Gao Jin from Overseas Chinese Newspaper of Europe, who attended Guangdong Delegation's open day for the second time. ''Being able to do this again makes me truly feel Guangdong's openness and confidence.''

As Desca, a journalist from Indonesia's Antara News Agency, entered the venue, she was immediately drawn to a Chinese journalist testing an exoskeleton robot. Observing the scene for a while, she remarked on the innovative equipment used by Chinese media: ''I may not need it now, but this would be incredibly useful for media colleagues carrying heavy gear.'' During the Q&A session, Desca, who closely follows China's technological advancements, asked NPC delegate and Shenzhen Mayor Qin Weizhong about Shenzhen's strategies for enhancing its high-tech ecosystem and further boosting innovation competitiveness.

Meanwhile, foreign journalists were also broadcasting live from the event. Among them was Li Huadong, a reporter from Papua New Guinea (PNG) China Press. ''There are many overseas Chinese in PNG, and Guangdong is a well-known hometown for overseas Chinese. Through this event, I hope to learn more about Guangdong's policies related to overseas Chinese,'' he said.

When close-up access shifts from a "special invitation" to the "new normal," and when foreign journalists naturally enter the venue to capture remarkable moments, China's leading economic province is offering a vivid interpretation of openness through the lens of sincerity and equal engagement.

对中外记者不设限 广东代表团开放日亮出“更开放”姿态

3月6日下午，十四届全国人大三次会议广东代表团举行开放团组会议。来自百余家境内外媒体的267名记者拿起相机，步入会议内场，近距离拍摄记录代表们审议与发言现场。继去年“让记者朋友们到前面来拍吧”的“特别邀请”之举后，广东又一次打破传统会场的区隔，邀请媒体走到代表身边“零距离”拍摄，开放的姿态展露无遗。

2024年3月7日的广东代表团开放日上，一句“让记者朋友们到前面来拍吧”的邀请，引发全场掌声雷动。

今年的广东代表团开放日，这种开放的姿态更进一步：会议一开始就未曾给媒体记者的拍摄设限。不再需要特意邀请，境内外媒体记者自然而然就能进入内场“零距离”拍摄。

“去年邀请记者到内场拍摄的画面让人印象很深刻，我还是当时第一位走进内场拍摄的记者。”《欧洲侨报》记者高进今年是第二次来到广东代表团开放日现场，他感慨，“记者再次能够走进内场拍摄，让我更真切地感受到了广东的开放与自信。”

步入会场后，印尼安塔拉通讯社的记者戴思佳（Desca）的目光迅速被正试穿“外骨骼机器人”的中国记者所吸引。她“围观”了一段时间后表示，中国媒体使用的采访设备很新颖，“我目前可能用不上，但这个设备对于需要扛重设备的媒体同行而言，会非常有用”。会议上的提问环节，一直关注中国科技创新发展的戴思佳向全国人大代表、深圳市市长覃伟中提问。她说，她特别想了解未来，深圳将如何优化高科技生态，进一步提升科技创新竞争力。

现场，还有境外记者进行着直播，来自《巴新侨报》的记者李华东是其中之一。“巴布亚新几内亚有不少华侨华人，广东是中国著名的侨乡，我希望通过广东代表团开放日活动，了解广东的涉侨政策。”李华东向记者介绍道。

当近距离拍摄从“特意邀请”化作理所当然的“新常态”，当境外记者也自然而然走入内场捕捉精彩瞬间，中国第一经济大省正在用镜头平视的诚意，完成对“开放”的生动诠释。
