"China cannot develop without the support of foreign friends from various countries, neither can the world proper in the absence of China," said Jia, chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference National Committee, while meeting with the winner or their representatives.

As globalization continues, countries and people around the world need to enhance understanding and boost cooperation to promote world peace and development, he said.

"The Chinese people are willing to join hands with friends around the world to contribute to the building of a harmonious and beautiful world," he said.

Princess Sirindhom said she was greatly moved to receive the honor, as that meant the Chinese people had never forgotten those old friends who had extended helping hands to China.

The online voting was organized by China Radio International as part of the activities to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the People's Republic of China. Altogether 56 million eligible votes had been collected in the voting which lasted from Aug. 31 to Oct. 10.
