On 25 September 2018, within the framework of the 58th session of World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Assembly, the grand opening of a joint exhibition from the group of Central Asian countries, CIS and Caucasus (CACEEC) “Cultural proximity: Unity in diversity” was held in the headquarters (Exhibition Hall) of the WIPO.
The exhibition was opened by the Direetor General of WIPO, Mr. Francis Gurry, with the Permanent Representatives of the CACEEC group countries.
Turkmenistan took part in this exhibition and being inspired by the Great Silk Road concept, exhibited Turkmen national carpets as a historical and centuries-old product of the intellectual property of the Turkmen people, which reflects the national character and continuity of traditions.
Mr. Gurry expressed his gratitude to the Turkmen mission for participation and underlined the peculiarity and uniqueness of the Turkmen carpet and its göls.
The WIPO Assembly is WIPO’s largest annual event, which brings together representatives of all member countries of this organization, as well as of other academic and research institutions.
This year the audience of the exhibition will be over one thousand delegates who arrived at a WIPO Assembly. The exhibition will last until 2 October 2018.
