Vietnam silk, brocade exhibition underway in Geneva

The Vietnam silk and brocade exhibition is underway at the headquarters of the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) in Geneva from September 30 – October 9 within the framework of the 59th session of the WIPO General Assembly.

The exhibition is co-organised by the Vietnam Permanent Mission to the United Nations, the World Trade Organisation and international organisations in Geneva.

It introduces silk products from Bao Loc, the Central Highlands province of Lam Dong – the capital of silk in Vietnam by well-known designer Minh Hanh.

Earlier, the Vietmode fashion show also introduced silk and brocade products in the same place on the occasion of the 74th anniversary of the National Day to the welcome of international friends.

WIPO General Director Francis Gurry also expressed his impression about the show./
