SAMARKAND - Uzbekistan told the International Textile Manufacturers Federation (ITMF) Annual Conference and International Apparel Federation (IAF) World Fashion Convention - held this week in the country - that it was ready to take a place at heart of the global textile industry.
A global boycott of cotton from Uzbekistan – the world’s sixth largest cotton producer – was lifted in 2022 after the Cotton Campaign coalition concluded that government-imposed forced labour had been eradicated.
