On May 12, Lu Pengqi, Deputy Commissioner of the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA), met in Beijing with a delegation led by Mr. Sh. Arifin bin Sh. Mohd Noor, Deputy Director General of the Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (MyIPO).

Lu noted that China and Malaysia enjoy a long-standing friendship. During President Xi Jinping's state visit to Malaysia in April this year, intellectual property (IP) cooperation was included in the Joint Statement Between the People's Republic of China and Malaysia on Building a High-level Strategic China-Malaysia Community with a Shared Future. President Xi Jinping witnessed the exchange of a memorandum of understanding on IP cooperation between CNIPA and MyIPO, fully reflecting the great importance both governments attach to IP. Lu expressed hope that the two offices would further enhance mutual understanding and trust, and work together to elevate bilateral cooperation to a new height.

Mr. Arifin highly praised China's achievements in IP development and expressed his hope that the two offices would strengthen the sharing of experience, broaden areas of cooperation, and achieve concrete results through more pragmatic cooperation projects.

During the visit, experts from both sides also engaged in in-depth discussions on topics such as the patent information services platform and patent searching on traditional Chinese medicine.(Translated from CNIPA Website Chinese Version)
