The award winners include Bill Gaspard(design director of China Daily), Falk Hohn (professor of industrial art in Anhui province), Rakhymbekova Yahievna( from the Republic of Kazakhstan), Ruedi Nutzi(economist from Switzerland) and so on.

“I have worked here for five years and then got the Friendship Award, which is beyond my expectations. The nation's award will motivate me to further study and teach in China, because I feel valuable and cherished, and this can attract more global talent", said John Moore, a climate expert at Beijing Normal University from the UK.

Foreign experts have made great contribution to Chinese economic and social development. They have worked in different fields and have great influence（影响）in China, and they have improve the communication between China and the rest of the world.

To get the award, one must be a foreign expert who has made great contributions to China, such as helping the country solve key problems, starting good companies or other outstanding achievements in teaching and academic studies.
