Two foreign experts from Zhoushan in East China's Zhejiang province recently attended an expert reception celebrating the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China in Beijing.

Both of the experts are the winners of the West Lake Friendship Award, which is the high-end award given out by the Zhejiang provincial government to honor foreign experts who have made great contributions to the province, said local authorities.

Since its establishment in 1997, 649 foreign experts have won the award, 44 of whom have won the Chinese Government Friendship Award as well.

Vice Premier Han Zheng attended the reception and expressed his gratitude to the foreign experts.

In the past 70 years, a large number of foreign experts have come to China and made outstanding contributions to the country, which will never be forgotten, said Han.

Han added that China welcomes more foreign experts to come to the country to help build a brighter future for the country or even the entire world.
