He was speaking at the concluding ceremony of a course on copyrights organized by the Ministry in cooperation with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the Arab Society for Intellectual Property (ASIP).

The Minister said Arab and GCC governments were focusing attention on the protection of intellectual property rights and working as a team to find remedies to over shortcomings.
