China supports the WIPO in giving full play to its role as a multilateral platform and professional institution in providing more efficient and convenient services for global innovators, Ding added.

Speaking highly of China's intellectual property work, Tang said the WIPO is willing to deepen cooperation with China to improve the global intellectual property ecosystem and better promote scientific and technological innovation and economic development.
