According to President of the Association Vu Duc Giang, despite ongoing global complexities, fluctuating shipping costs, slow trade recovery, and reduced global investment, Vietnam's garment-textile industry has managed to maintain strong growth.

He added that the textile and garment sector must focus on developing domestic raw material sources and attracting investment in manufacturing. He urged businesses to continue to invest in technology and automation, and to adopt robotics in production.

Additionally, it is essential to take energy-saving measures to obtain green certifications, which are mandatory for orders from major markets today, Giang said.
