Compared with other emerging economies, Viet Nam stands as a model in its efforts to boost innovation, advance science and technology, and improve the capabilities of its people, noted the WIPO Director.
The WIPO is committed to working closely with Viet Nam in areas proposed by the Prime Minister and supporting the country in improving institutions, mechanisms, and policies, carrying out Resolution 57 and developing tools and indicators to assess the contribution of science, technology, and innovation, underlined Tang./.
