President of the EAPO Grigory Ivliev deposited the instruments of accession of the EAPO to the Geneva Act of the Hague Agreement Concerning the International Registration of Industrial Designs with Director General of WIPO Daren Tang.

The ceremony was also attended by Alexei Kurman, Director General of the National Center for Intellectual Property (Republic of Belarus).
