Description
In 2022, Thailand - the host of APEC - set the priority of “Balance in All Aspects” with the Bio-Circular-Green Economy Model as the overarching thinking.

In this regard, Viet Nam held a two-day workshop on Promoting Green Garment and Textile Sector towards Inclusive and Sustainable Growth on 21-22 September 2023, in Ha Noi, Viet Nam with the objective of sharing information, good practices and suggest recommendations on ways to promote green garment and textile sector towards inclusive and sustainable growth.
