VIENNA, 1 October 2020 - The Director General LI Yong had a bilateral discussion with Gerhard Hrebicek, President of the European Brand Institute (EBI), to discuss next steps in the cooperation between UNIDO and EBI in support of branding for sustainability.

On this occasion, the signed Memorandum of Understanding has been exchanged, which has been delayed due to COVID-19.
