He stressed that the UAE is keen to continue its cooperation with WIPO and the Member

States, looking forward to more constructive work to support IP rights protection and the

exchange of expertise and knowledge, thereby contributing to the achievement of the

Organisation's sustainable development goals and promoting the growth of Member States'

economies.

Bin Touq added, "The UAE, in line with its leading role regionally and globally in solidifying

the importance of IP rights protection, reiterates its interest in implementing and

operationalising the proposal to host Abu Dhabi as an external office of WIPO, and

supporting efforts to introduce Arabic into the Madrid System for International Registration of

Trademarks, thereby increasing Arab communities’ engagement with WIPO, and promoting

the principle of multilingualism."

"The UAE warmly welcomes Daren Tang, Director-General of the World Intellectual Property

Organisation (WIPO), to the upcoming World Government Summit scheduled for February

2025. The Summit will serve as a key opportunity for engaging in discussions and

deliberations on the future of the IP sector and the potential opportunities it offers, along with

the technologies supporting its development," Bin Touq stated.
