On May 7, Shen Changyu, Commissioner of the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA), met with Hussain bin Ibrahim Al Hammadi, Ambassador of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to China, and his delegation in Beijing. The two sides held in-depth discussions on the latest developments and bilateral cooperation in the field of intellectual property (IP).

Shen noted that China and the UAE are comprehensive strategic partners, with close economic, trade, and people-to-people exchanges. In May 2024, under the witness of the two heads of state, the two sides signed their first memorandum of understanding on IP cooperation. In September 2024, during the Third Belt and Road High-Level Conference on Intellectual Property, the two sides conducted productive exchanges. China is willing to work with the UAE to advance practical cooperation in IP, injecting new momentum into bilateral exchanges in the economy, science and technology, and culture.

Hussain bin Ibrahim Al Hammadi stated that, under the strategic guidance of the two heads of state, UAE-China cooperation has made significant progress across various fields. The UAE attaches great importance to IP as a key driver of innovative development, and highly appreciates China’s rapid progress and achievements in the field of IP. He expressed the UAE’s desire to further deepen IP cooperation with China and achieve mutual benefit and win-win outcomes.(Translated from CNIPA Website Chinese Version)
