A two day conference on ‘Teaching Textile’ was held in Karachi by the Textile Institute of Pakistan and Associated Textile Consultants on this Saturday. Mr Irfan Husain, president TIP, welcomed guests and participants, and explained the purpose and structure of the conference. He said eight working groups consisting of teachers from various textile-teaching institutions would sit with experts from industry to discuss different aspects relating to textiles.
Dr Anjum Altaf, Director of the Sustainable Development Policy Institute said, the burden of maintaining large inventories in the west has been moved from seller to

“Production was distributed among mills and factories, depending on their location. Thus, while China supplied Japan and the West Coast of the United States, Turkey and East European countries supplied the wealthy West European markets,” said Dr Altaf”.
He also said that, another fascinating trend was the emergence of cities as players in the global market as they sold themselves as investor-friendly locations.
