 The 20th session of the Committee on Development and Intellectual Property held its session from November 27th to December 1st. It was a very important meeting in the sense that it marks the 20th session, that is 10 years of the adoption of the Development Agenda. Fairly important issues were discussed, but let me give you a rundown. First, we had a progress report which encompasses reporting on all the projects that are under implementation and also some of the recommendations. Other important issues, the Committee at its previous session had decided to have an standing Agenda item on IPN development. That Agenda item has been established, some delegations, notably the delegation of Brazil, made some very important contribution, made a proposal as to what should be discussed under that Agenda item. We also had a discussion on the African group proposal on holding a biennial conference on IPN development. The decision on that matter has been deferred to the next session. The another important thing was we provided an update on disseminating information on the database on flexibilities. The countries noted that through the efforts of the organization, a large number of audience has started using the database. The subject of SDGs was also discussed, although the decision was not taken. There is a proposal to have a standing Agenda item on the SDGs in the Committee. These are the highlights of the session. Thank you.
