DELHI: Film Federation of India (FFI) first vice president
TP Aggarwal and its secretary general Supran Sen will
be attending the diplomatic conference on the proposed
World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) Audiovisual
Performances Treaty in Beijing this month.

of Film Producers Association (FIAPF), which serves
the interest of producers globally to the meet being

major role.
