The Asia Fashion Summit 2015 (AFS 2015), and an international exhibition on fashion and materials for the garment industry, are scheduled to take place in Hanoi in the next month.
The Vietnam Textile & Apparel Association (VTAA) announced the evets at a press conference in Hanoi on October 30.
The association said the events aim to help bolster links among Asian textile enterprises, offering them a chance to discuss ways to promote garment exports to other countries.
Speaking at the conference, VTAA Chairman Vu Duc Giang suggested outlining strategic solutions, enhancing research and promoting the application of advanced technologies to increase domestic garment businesses’ competitiveness.
He also underlined the need to set up fashion design centres and build national brand textile products in order to make deeper inroads into international markets.
The association is implementing a strategy that focuses on hastening modernisation and ensuring sustainable growth in order to turn the textile sector into one of the country’s key industries, Giang stressed.
Truong Van Cam, general secretary of the association, said the association served as a bridge connecting businesses and State management agencies. He added that it also worked with the National Garment and Textile Group and foreign organisations to arrange trade promotion activities, training programmes, workshops and conferences in the field.
VTAA Chairman Giang urged the sector to call for more investment in weaving, dyeing, completing products and developing supply chains to increase the added value of export products. This would help the sector realise its goal of generating 42 billion USD in export turnover by 2020, with a localization rate of 65 percent.-VNA
