A new chapter in Bangladesh-China textile cooperation began today (29 April) as Zhejiang China Textile City Group officially inaugurated its strategic office in Gulshan, marking a significant step toward closer integration between two of the world’s largest textile hubs.
At the opening ceremony, attended by senior executives from China Textile City and SOHO Fashion Group and others, officials outlined plans to establish a dedicated textile exhibition and trade centre in Dhaka through a joint initiative between the companies.
The proposed centre is expected to serve as a hub for sourcing, innovation, and sustainable textile development.
The move comes on the back of growing Chinese investment interest in Bangladesh’s apparel sector, following the successful launch of SOHO Fashion’s representative office in Dhaka in August 2025.
SOHO has since recorded around 30% year-on-year growth in business volume in the first quarter of this year, encouraging other major players to explore opportunities in the country.
Founded in 1993, China Textile City Group is a global leader in textile logistics and market management, overseeing 14 specialised markets and four logistics parks with more than 25,000 business premises.
Speaking at the event, Zhao, general manager of China Textile City, said the Dhaka office reflects a long-term commitment to building a seamless supply chain between China and Bangladesh.
He noted that direct access to upstream resources would enable local manufacturers to enhance competitiveness through improved sourcing and access to high-quality fabrics.
Jeffrey, chairman of SOHO Fashion Group, highlighted the synergy between the two organisations, saying their combined expertise would create a unique platform for Bangladesh’s textile and apparel industry and support the development of a sustainable business ecosystem.
Among the local firms, Nurul Hassan, managing director at LZ group, Ehsan Abdullah, managing director at Mitali Group and AKM badiul Alam, managing director at Amtranet Group, were present at the event.
They expressed optimism that the entry of China Textile City would attract further foreign investment and help local manufacturers scale up operations, diversify product offerings, and access new international markets.
