The boss of a US multinational which was a strong advocate of China's entry to the World Trade Organization was yesterday bestowed the nation's highest honour given to a foreign business leader.

H. Edward Hanway, the chairman and chief executive officer of insurance giant CIGNA, was presented the Marco Polo Award for his great contributions to pushing forward Sino-US relations.

The boss of a US multinational which was a strong advocate of China's entry to the World Trade Organization was yesterday bestowed the nation's highest honour given to a foreign business leader.
H. Edward Hanway: A friendship envoy
"The award is for friendly envoys who make contributions to exchanges between China and other countries, like Marco Polo did for the relations between China and the West 750 years ago," said Zhang Jianguo, vice-director of the State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs.

Accepting the award, Hanway said: "With this award you honour me and my company. You also encourage all of us in the business arena to further promote and enhance bilateral relations between our two nations."

Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing sent his congratulations, saying he appreciated Hanway's contributions towards Sino-US exchanges.

CIGNA has a long history in China. One of its predecessor companies was the insurer in 1798 for cargo ships sailing between Philadelphia and what was then Canton during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).

"Then CIGNA returned to China in 1994. We have worked diligently to develop and cultivate the insurance market here," Hanway said.

Today, its joint venture operation, CIGNA & CMC Life Insurance Co Ltd, provides protection-oriented life, accident and supplemental health insurance services.

The Marco Polo Award was set up in 1987 by the State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs, the China International Talent Exchange Foundation and the Sino-US Talent Exchange Foundation.

More than 30 renowned personalities have received the award, including George H. W. Bush, the former US president; George Fisher, chairman and CEO of Kodak; and Alex Trotman, chairman and CEO of Ford.
