Vietnam vows to play an active role in setting an effective IP rights protection in the country and hopes to cooperate with the WIPO and its partners in the years to come, he said.
The Southeast Asian nation also wants to receive WIPO assistance in building a national IP strategy and participate in international IP treaties.
