In his opening speech at the meeting, Sun Ruizhe said that the global economy is recovering, but still faces many risks, including new mutant viruses, uncertainty about the direction of the COVID-19 epidemic, and continued rise in inflation expectations.
Sun Ruizhe pointed out that the new year means a new chapter. In 2022, the International Textile Federation will focus on the following topics: responding to the socio-economic impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, industrial safety and supply chain issues, the road to “carbon neutrality” and digital transformation. And make greater efforts in the following areas:
First of all, the International Textile Federation will increase investment to help members and partners cope with the uncertainty caused by the new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic. In 2022, as information sharing tools, the Itex COVID-19 Epidemic Survey, Itex Newsletters, and Itex Webinars will continue to provide their global members with new data, industry practices and insights, and provide guidance for the industry to respond to the crisis. .
Secondly, the International Textile Federation will continue to call on all economies to commit to open cooperation to ease current trade tensions and maintain the global multilateral trading system, thereby supporting economic growth and employment. Recently, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) came into effect, which will promote regional free trade integration, safeguard multilateralism, and drive global economic development.
Third, the International Textile Federation will reasonably guide the industry to accelerate the realization of “carbon neutrality” and provide support for its members’ actions to address climate change. Recommendation: Establish a working mechanism led by the Secretary-General of the International Textile Federation, focusing on greenhouse gasemission standards for the textile industry in different countries and regions and low-carbon product standards for textile products Identify the system; actively explore “shortcuts” to establish think tanks in specific fields, and strengthen open and inclusive connections with industry-related international organizations or multilateral mechanisms.
Fourth, the International Textile Federation will continue to explore new areas and expand its global influence and relevance. In 2021, the application process for the International Textile Federation Awards was successfully launched. In 2022, the establishment of the International Textile Federation Standards Committee will be launched. As an arduous but worthy area of exploration, standards are the basis for an industry to establish order and credibility, which will drive the industry forward and achieve sustainable development.
The meeting discussed and unanimously agreed to extend the term of Sun Ruizhe, the current chairman of the International Textile Federation, to the 2023 International Textile Federation Annual Meeting.
The meeting decided: The Davos Annual Meeting of the International Textile Federation will be postponed to September 18-20, 2022.
