meeting taking place during the Assembly of Member States within WIPO – World

meeting discussions are focusing on how methods may be identified to address the
challenges of an ever increasing digital world, to strengthen the safeguards
available for intellectual property. This meeting aims to encourage creative
methods and solutions for today’s challenges.
On Wednesday 23rd September, the Parliamentary Secretary shall be meeting WIPO’s
Director General Francis Gurry. During this meeting discussions on the
possibilities of greater cooperation between WIPO and the Maltese Government
will be explored. This meeting shall strengthen the good relations that already
exist between Malta and the United Nations agency.

intellectual property. Innovation and creativity depend directly on these
systems to continue serving in the important role that they undertake in light
of the not insignificant challenges that the reality of today’s globalised world
offers.
This agency is committed to offering systems that effectively protect
intellectual property and guarantees its accessibility to all nations in order
to discover solutions to challenges such as climate change, epidemics, access to
health care, the preservation of bio-diversity and others.
