< p > < strong > Pakistan seeks market access concessions to the United States < /strong > /p >

< p > Pakistan < a target= "_blank" href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" > textile < /a > entrepreneurs recently urged the US government to grant preferential market access to them.

At present, the US government has approved 360 Pakistan products to enjoy preferential access in the US market, but this entry list does not include textile products.

Ahsan Bashir, President of the Pakistan textile factory Association (Ahsan Bashir), said that we do not need capital and other forms of assistance. We only need a fair access to the US market.

Bashir added that the 360 products exported US $100 million a year to the United States, while Pakistan's total exports to the United States amounted to US $3 billion 800 million. Therefore, the concession of 360 products is meaningless, and it is meaningful for Pakistan's economy to promote trade preferences.

< p > Bashir said that the United States imports 100 billion US dollars of textiles and < a target= "_blank" href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/" > clothing "/a" annually, while the share of Pakistan only accounts for about 3%.

Pakistan insiders said that in view of Pakistan's strategic position, entrepreneurs in Pakistan and the United States should strengthen cooperation in promoting the link between the United States cotton and Pakistan textile industry.

The leaders of the two countries also sought support from the US government and the private sector for the Pakistan textile industry to improve the image of Pakistan products in the US market.

< p > < strong > annual ready-made clothing exports in Thailand are expected to grow by 5%, /strong < /p >

Song Ba, chairman of the textile industry group of Thailand Industrial Institute and chairman of the Thailand Textile Industry Association, said recently that the export of clothing exports in Thailand in 2013 decreased by 5% compared with the same period in 2013, mainly due to the sharp appreciation of the Thai baht exchange rate and the impact of the global economic slowdown.

Song BAE said that if the Thai baht exchange rate depreciated to 31 baht to 1 US dollars, and enterprises continue to strengthen technological investment, it will help garment export growth.

In 2013, clothing exports in Thailand were expected to grow by 5% over the 898 million baht in 2012.

After experiencing the minimum daily wage increase leading to the rising cost of operation, the competitiveness and adjustment power of the manufacturers have been improved, and the overall output has increased significantly.

Some of them are investing in neighboring countries, including Laos, Burma, Kampuchea and Vietnam, because their labor costs are low, and their average daily wage is only around 100 baht.

< /p >

< p > Song Po suggested that Thailand textile and garment enterprises introduce new and high technology to increase the added value of products and compete in the market after the formal establishment of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC).

Taking Thailand silk as an example, the added value of products can be improved by introducing nano technology or adding flower fragrance.

< /p >

< p > it is reported that Jordan's manufacturing output accounts for about 1/4 of the economy and employs more than 237000 people, and industrial products are exported to more than 120 countries in the world, bringing about 800 million (1 billion 160 million US dollars) of revenue to the Jordanian government each year.

Some p entrepreneurs in Jordan have questioned the move. The main factor restricting the development of Jordan's manufacturing industry is the lack of long-term and low-cost financial support, and calls for the re establishment of the Industrial Development Bank to provide financial support for the Jordanian manufacturing industry.
