New York (VNA) – Thirty-nine Vietnamese textile enterprises are participating in Texworld New York City, a leading international trade fair for fashion and apparel procurement held biannually in New York, the US.
The three-day fair, which opened on July 16, has gathered hundreds of suppliers and designers in the global textile and garment supply chain.
The Vietnamese firms showcase products with diverse and creative designs, many of which are made from green and environmental friendly materials such as coffee and lotus fibers.
Ambassador Dang Hoang Giang, Permanent Representative of Vietnam to the United Nations, appreciated the impressive presence of Vietnamese textile and garment products in New York City - one of the world's leading fashion centres.
Textile-garment is Vietnam's main export product and ample room remains for its businesses to expand market share, he said, underlining the need to approach potential customers, learn about and promptly grasp fashion trends and focus on innovation, meeting the demand of choosy markets like the US.
The diplomat suggested that Vietnamese associations and businesses continue to coordinate closely with the country’s representative agencies in the US, including the Permanent Mission of Vietnam in New York, to bring Vietnamese products closer to the local market, thereby contributing to creating new development momentum for the country’s textile and garment industry and strengthening trade relations between the two countries./.
