While presenting the award to Mr. Chopra, the Swiss Ambassador H.E Mr. Philippe Welti said "We are pleased to honour Mr. Yash Chopra with the first of its kind award. Mr. Chopra's association with Switzerland dates back to 1965 when he was present at the very same lawns while shooting for his golden jubilee hit, Waqt. Our association has come a long way since then with numerous of his movies showing the splendid serenity of Switzerland.
