Affected by new coronal pneumonia, many international guests can't come to the meeting site. In this particular context, this session has important practical significance with the theme of "building open, inclusive, sustainable world cotton".

Wang Wei pointed out that the current world enters the turmoil and change period, a hundred years of change in the century and the closing of the century. Although the world environment is complicated and more varied, the Chinese economy has a stable recovery situation. The economy has long been good. The inner-top trend has not changed, and the elements of the high-quality development of the industry have not changed. It should also be seen that political factors on international economic and trade cooperation and global economy. Since last year, some countries in Western countries have fabricated the so-called "forced labor", interfere with the international supply chain of cotton industry and textile and apparel industries, which has damaged the interests of Xinjiang cotton farms and global consumers. When the world economy is deeply adjusted, only open can only benefit different countries, common prosperity, and lasting development, it is a wise choice that countries should make. We must jointly maintain free, open, non-discriminatory multilateral trade systems, avoid politicalization of economic and trade issues, better promote cotton and cotton trade and liberalization and convenience.

Wang Wei introduced that China's supply and marketing cooperatives have taken an important position in the reform of cotton industry, and two organizers in this session are the competent community and social company of the National Supply and Marketing Cooperatives. From the past universal sales, the market-based reform after China has increased, although the main body of the cotton market has increased, but the supply and marketing cooperative cotton business is in mind the initial mission, actively undertake social responsibility, and the roots of the national macroeconomic regulation and control have not changed. The China Cotton Association is a competent community, which is courageous to actively respond to risk challenges, and has been widely recognized by the industry. When facing China-US trade friction, the China Cotton Association promptly reflects the calls of the industry, actively recommending the statement, and the international cotton industry to jointly maintain trade order; facing the new crown epidemic in the last year, China Cotton Association timely call Industry strengthening raw material distribution, ensuring the production and supply of important materials such as masks, protective clothing, to help epidemic prevention and control; facing the so-called "forced labor", boycotting Xinjiang cotton and cotton products, China Cotton Association suggests Yan Zheng position, strengthen Communicate with national cotton organizations, and strongly maintain the reputation and image of the cotton industry. The National Supply and Marketing Cooperation Tires will continue to support the impact of China's Cotton Association and Society Enterprises in the field of cotton. I hope that China's Cotton Association will continue to adhere to the concept of service, coordination, self-discipline, and rights protection, build a good industry exchange platform, condense the development consensus of the industry. Promote international cotton trade cooperation, in order to promote the opening, inclusive and sustainable development of China and the world's cotton industry.

Wang Wei said that 2021 is the 100th anniversary of the Communist Party of China. It is also the year of the "14th Five-Year Plan". The new journey of socialist modernization, China is accelerating the construction of domestic circulation as the main body, domestic international double cycle. Mutual promotion of new development patterns. Standing in a new starting point, we must accurately grasp the new development stage, and in-depth implementation of the new development concept, accelerate the integration of new development patterns, and promote the high quality development of China's cotton industry during the "14th Five-Year Plan". Here, he put forward three suggestions: First, we must promote brand building, accelerate the high-end high end of value chain; second, to strengthen innovation and drive, lead the industry's high quality development; three, we must adhere to open inclusive, cooperate in interconnection win.

Finally, Wang Wei proposed, in the face of the special period of the centenary and century epidemic, let us work together, to meet the difficulties, lead the industry to speed up innovation, strengthen industry exchange cooperation, promote high-quality development of the industry, for epidemic Global Cotton Industrial recovery efforts!

The President of the China Cotton Association has made a statement entitled "Working in and working, building an open, inclusive, sustainable world cotton industry". She said that in 2020, epidemic burst, reverse globalization, global global glue and differences, bringing many risks and challenges to the global cotton industry and textile industry. In the face of the epidemic, under the effective deployment and policy support of the Chinese government, domestic cotton and textile enterprises actively recover their replenishment, and the industrial chain and downstream strengthening cooperation, market confidence is gradually recovering. Under the driving of epidemic prevention materials, the export of the textile costume in 2020 reached 29.12 billion US dollars, an increase of 9.5% year-on-year, and the new high since 2015; with overseas economic restart, clothing exports have gradually improved. Textile recovery has increased cotton consumption, and the latest investigation of China's Cotton Association predicts that 2020/21 national cotton consumption is 8.1 million tons, 5.9% higher than the previous year.

Gao Fang introduced that in the face of sudden epidemics and interference of many non-normal factors, China's cotton and textile industry have experienced testing, which highlights our advantages in the production scale, industrial chain, and business model innovation. It shows that China's cotton people deal with difficulty and hard work. At the same time, it should also be seen that the century epidemic and century-old change will interleaving, the world enters the turmoil, the unstable uncertainty is significantly rising; the epidemic has caused the world economy to fall into a downturn, but also exacerbated the untrust and dismissivity between countries; trade Frequent friction, chemical fiber replacement, especially in recent years, climate change, biodiversity loss, extreme climate incidents, challenges to human survival and development, and the external environment facing the industry is more serious.

Gao Fang believes that as the world's important cotton production, consumption, textile exporter, we have completely capable of responding to challenges. She also pointed out that my country's cotton supply is sufficient, but the high-quality cotton that meets the development needs of textile development is insufficient, and there is a decline in the market in recent years; the market is involved in the main body, but the brand influence, industrial collaboration level and international operation capacity is obvious. The market is large, but the standards, information, and talent team buildings are relatively lagging behind, and the future development needs more powerful support. The China's cotton industry is still facing a problem of unbalanced supply and demand, production and quality imbalance, traditional model and sustainable development imbalance.

Gao Fang said that we must respond to innovation to change the differentiation, to develop by quality, and work together with the cotton industry in various countries to jointly promote the world's cotton industry to higher quality and more sustainable direction. To this end, she made the following questions and everyone discussed: First, open an inclusive, casting cooperation, the future of win-win; Second, respect nature, take the cotton industry to develop roads; third, fair integrity, create Market environment for the healthy development of cotton.

Finally, Gao Fang said that in the new historical starting point, despite all kinds of uncertain factors, we still choose open, inclusive, sustainable development concept, not afraid of wind, not afraid of difficulties, choose insisting in uncertainty, Choose for a long time in an unknown future. I don't change my heart, and the future is available. Let us work in hand, and will have a good time to create a wonderful tomorrow in cotton!
