He highlighted key aspects of the visit, noting that the India Pavilion continues to attract significant interest, with exhibitors showcasing innovations such as contamination-free Kasturi cotton.
During his discussions, Mathur reassured exhibitors of the Consulate’s commitment to supporting India’s textile trade in the region. “India In Shanghai” also shared snippets of his visit on X, reinforcing the significance of the event.
According to the official Yarn Expo website, the exhibition serves as a crucial sourcing hub for industry stakeholders. Suppliers from Asia and Europe present their latest offerings, including natural and blended yarns such as cotton, wool, flax/regenerated flax, and synthetic fibers, along with specialized products like elastic, fancy, and blended yarns.
The expo provides a valuable platform for international buyers to connect with top domestic suppliers. With spring and autumn editions in Shanghai, it offers overseas businesses a chance to strengthen regional ties and expand their market presence.
Earlier in February, Mathur visited Shanghai’s iconic Jing’an Temple, emphasizing India and China’s deep-rooted cultural connections. Modeled after Bodh Gaya’s architectural heritage, the temple, founded in 247 AD, remains a testament to the far-reaching influence of Indian Buddhist traditions.
