He elaborated on the achievements of CIIDS’s four core   platforms—“Strategic Research, International Exchanges, Global Communication,   and Innovation Empowerment”—and highlighted the global influence and resource   integration advantages of the Understanding China Conference. He emphasized   that CIIDS has accumulated rich practical experience and unique value in   intellectual property protection research, providing services for enterprises   going global, and giving policy advice for the central government.

Director Liu Hua thanked CIIDS for the warm reception. She   stressed that as a core United Nations agency governing global intangible   asset management, WIPO holds the “five golden keys to intellectual wealth”   and boasts profound professional expertise, extensive resource reserves, and   broad international influence in supporting enterprises in the global layout   of intellectual property rights and advancing coordinated global innovation   development. Liu Hua noted that WIPO and CIIDS are highly aligned in core business   areas, such as promoting innovation empowerment and international   intellectual property cooperation. The platform resources and channel   advantages of CIIDS strongly complement WIPO’s professional capabilities and   global network. She expressed the hope to take this meeting as an important   opportunity to establish a long-term and stable strategic cooperative   partnership with CIIDS, jointly inject new momentum into the overseas   expansion and innovative development of Chinese enterprises, and contribute   to enhancing China’s voice and influence in the formulation of global   intellectual property rules.
