China will accelerate the opening up of various scientific and technological programs to foreign experts and encourage them to lead and take part in such programs, Premier Li Keqiang said on September 30.
Li's remark came as he met with this year's 100 recipients of the Friendship Award and their family members. The Friendship Award is given annually by the Chinese government to honor outstanding foreign experts in China.
China will step up the protection of IPRs and bring its business environment in line with market principles, the rule of law and international standards, he said.
China owes its tremendous achievements over the past 70 years to the hard work of its own people, but the cause has also received support and help from foreign experts and friends, he said.
The premier also gave credit to foreign experts for bringing leading technologies, experience and management to China, saying that the Chinese people will not forget their important contributions.
It will also accept its responsibility as a major developing country and work with different countries to safeguard world peace, narrow the gap between developing and developed countries and enable win-win outcomes, he added.
