No. Here are a few comments.
'Friction' requires the singular verb 'has', not 'have'.

Dear Micawber and Clive,
Thank you so much for your answers.
Could you please explain why you use "about" instead of "of"?
I mean, what is the difference, "information of the country" vs. "information about the country" ?? I always get confused.

There should be no confusion. 'Information of' + topic does not collocate in English: they do not go together.
