In this spring, GIC-BCN undersigned a cooperation agreement with a specialized garment wholesale market Zhuzhou Lusong Market, in Hunan Province.

And one of the purposes for GIC-BCN to visit CNTAC is to ask for suggestions on it, explained Mr. Jordi Castellet. In textile and clothing sector, China has enjoyed positive trade relation with Spain for many decades, and China is learning from Spain in the fields of technology and branding.

CNTAC definitely supports the specific cooperation agreement and will spare no effort to help with the implement, said Mr. Du Yuzhou.

In China, there are hundreds of textile-and-garment-specified markets like Zhuzhou Lusong Market. CNTAC is committing itself to facilitate the international cooperation in technology, human resources, design, branding and management.

So the agreement between Zhuzhou Lusong Market and GIC-BCN might be developed into a role model for other partners to take the advance of China’s huge and potential marketplace.
