Consolatory Letter from Chinese Industry

---

Dear Sirs/Madams,

As the coronavirus outbreak grows in scale and scope, we note that the situation is coming into an emergency. On behalf of China National Textile and Apparel Council (CNTAC), the Sub-Council of Textile Industry, CCPIT (CCPITTEX) and China Textile Machinery Association (CTMA), we would like to extend our deepest and sincerest concern and care to you and your staff. 

At present, the Covid-19 has been effectively contained in China. We are glad to see that production in all provincial-level regions except for Hubei is in recovery. So is China’s textile and apparel industry. In particular of medical and hygiene textiles, over 60% of Chinese related manufacturers have resumed production. If you need any assistance, please do not hesitate to let us know. Virus knows no boarders. We will help each other to defeat it. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

We firmly believe that our two countries through sharing weal and woe in a hard time will embrace a closer relationship, and it will create new opportunities for cooperation between our textile and apparel industries.

Together, we shall prevail.

Yours truthfully,

Sun Ruizhe

President of CNTAC

Xu Yingxin

President of CCPITTEX

Gu Ping

President of CTMA
