Open cooperation
The global textile industry wants a future of sharing and interconnection. It seeks mutual benefit.
Sun Ruizhe, president of the China Textile Industry Federation, spoke. He said China’s textile industry boosts global cooperation. Its textile and garment exports have exceeded $300 billion for four years. They contributed over 50% to the growth of the world’s textile and garment exports.
This World Textile Conference focuses on the future of textile quality. It aims to reach a consensus, link resources, and boost productivity in the global textile industry. Keqiao is the world’s largest textile and printing industry cluster. It is a pioneer in developing new quality productivity for local conditions. The development practice of Keqiao is a vivid interpretation of the theme of the conference.
Chen Hao, secretary of the CPC Keqiao District Party Committee of Shaoxing City, said the conference will highlight three things. They are: 1. “gathering new resources of international industry,” and 2. “gathering new momentum of industrial development,” and 3. “athering new ‘quality’ wisdom of win-win cooperation.” He looks forward to meeting industry insiders and leaders in Keqiao to celebrate the annual textile event.
Chen Hao also spoke of the great results of Keqiao’s recent, high-quality development. He said that, at present, Keqiao is following the “88 strategy.” It is promoting innovation, deepening reforms, and opening up. And it aims to be the “international textile capital.” It is speeding up the “three major highlands” of market, industry, and science. Strive to build the world’s largest textile distribution center and four other “centers.” They are: an international textile exhibition center, a modern textile innovation center, a textile fashion brand center, and a textile headquarters gathering center. Aim to be a model of modern county practice in China.
As the permanent host of the World Cloth Conference, Keqiao is becoming a stronger city. It is now a hub of open trade and a center of innovation.
Data indicate that nearly a quarter of the world’s textile products are traded by Keqiao. In 2023, the turnover of China’s textile city rose to 360 billion yuan, up from 220 billion in 2018. The region’s textile industry is worth 130 billion yuan. It makes a third of the country’s total output. “Keqiao Textile” became China’s first textile brand worth over 100 billion yuan.
Yuan Xiaowen is a member of the CPC Shaoxing Keqiao District Committee. He is the secretary of the China Textile City Party Working Committee.

The district has worked to upgrade its textile industry. It aims to boost new, high-quality productivity, from top design to local implementation.
Promoting the green transformation of the whole industrial chain of the textile industry is also an important topic of this conference. “Develop new, high-quality, productive textiles. Balance harmony between man and nature. Promote a green, low-carbon shift in the entire industrial chain. “Aim for a more efficient, low-carbon, and clean process.” Yan Yan, VP of the China Textile Industry Federation, said this. She is also the Party secretary of the China Textile Information Center.

It seeks “win-win cooperation and responsible development.” The conference built a high-end platform for global textile exchange and cooperation. The process involves “extensive consultation, joint construction, and sharing.””
The organizers said the conference will still be a bridge to the global exchange. It will deepen links, enhance cooperation, and drive high-end, green, smart innovation in textiles.
Participants believe the World Textile Conference will have two effects. It will strengthen the link between Keqiao and the global textile industry. And it will also help build a modern, productive international textile city. It will showcase the 100 billion textile industry’s innovation, green competitiveness, and culture.
