Members of the International Textile Federation’s Board of Directors and former Chairman attended the meeting. The meeting was chaired by Sun Ruizhe, Chairman of the International Textile Federation and President of the ChinaTextile Industry Federation. The meeting decided that the 2021 International Textile Federation Annual Conference in Davos, Switzerland, will be postponed to April 2022. Held from 10th to 12th.

In his opening speech at the conference, Sun Ruizhe mentioned that the shift from deep recession to economic recovery, accelerated digital transformation, and shift to low-carbon and economic growth in harmony with nature are the three major changes currently taking place in the world economy, and focused on Introducing the situation of China’s textile industry: At present, China’s textile industry is stable and improving, the industrial chain is gradually recovering, and new business models (cross-border e-commerce and live broadcast economy) are accelerating the rebound of the consumer market. In the first quarter of 2021, the operating income of nearly half (46.4%) of textile companies and nearly two-thirds (63.6%) of apparel companies has returned to pre-epidemic levels.
Sun Ruizhe pointed out that as an important force in promoting the economic development of the industry, the current role of the International Textile Federation is mainly focused on:
First, based on the current situation, form a synergy for industry recovery. As countries look ahead to economic recovery, the focus will be on two priorities: growth andjobs. The textile industry is related to the national economy and people’s livelihood, especially in emerging economies, and is an important engine of economic growth and employment. The International Textile Federation should give full play to its own advantages, promote the integration of industry policies and practices, ensure the stability and smoothness of the supply chain and value chain, and ensure the effective operation of enterprises, thereby stimulating growth and creating jobs.
The second is to focus on the long term and shape the future of the industry. Not only to promote short-term recovery, but also to lay a solid foundation for more sustainable and inclusive industry economic development in the coming years. At present, the International Textile Federation must improve member services internally, and display the industry image and spread the voice of the industry externally. The International Textile Federation must give full play to its resources andtalent advantages to shape its own future and that of our industry.
Sun Ruizhe finally said: “On June 11, the China National Textile and Apparel Federation will officially release the “14th Five-Year Plan” Development Outline (2021-2025) for the Chinese textile industry. This also made me realize that the International Textile Federation has been and is Everything we do is not a plan but a guide for the development of textiles around the world. Let us be proud of this!”
The meeting also discussed the International Textile Federation awards, cooperation with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and the Sustainable Textile Industry Network in Asia (STAR Network).
Former International Textile Federation President Bashar (Pakistan), Jas Bedi (Kenya), and Cheng Qihe (South Korea) attended the meeting.
The meeting decided that the next video meeting of the board of directors will be held in August or September 2021.
