Xi Jinping is the first Chinese head of state to visit South Korea without visiting North Korea, which reflects the importance of South Korea as an economic partner to China.

Not only the delegation of more than 80 people includes 3 deputy prime ministers and 4 ministerial level officials, but also about 200 Chinese business executives, including the founder of e-commerce group Alibaba, Baidu's search engine Baidu's director Robin Li.

The two sides will sign consular agreements and more than ten cooperation documents.

In 2013, bilateral trade between China and South Korea exceeded 270 billion US dollars, equivalent to the sum of trade volume between Korea, the United States, South Korea and Japan.

President Xi Jinping held talks with South Korean President Park Geun hye in Seoul, pointing out that in order to achieve the goal of bilateral trade volume of US $300 billion in 2015, we hope that the two sides will intensify their negotiations and strive to complete negotiations between China and South Korea's "a http:// www.91se91.com/news/ index_c.asp" and free trade < /a > agreement by the end of this year, and strive for a general balance, high level and win-win agreement for P interests.

< /p >

< p > with the successful visit of President Xi Jinping, China and South Korea will further strengthen their interests in the signing of many cooperation agreements in the fields of environmental protection, energy, medicine and media, as well as the signing of the FTA between China and South Korea.

For textile enterprises, how can we catch the opportunity of the Sino Korean trade cooperation warming up and seize the opportunity to give full play to the potential of China's textile industry? < /p >

< p > it is understood that the amount of textiles and clothing exported to South Korea increased from US $3 billion 806 million in 2003 to US $6 billion 789 million in 2013.

In 2013, the amount of textiles and clothing exported to China increased by 16.6% over the same period last year.

In particular, < a href= "http://? www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" > clothing < /a >, the export amount reached 3 billion 950 million US dollars, an increase of 21.1% over the same period last year.

< /p >

In the first 5 months of 2014, the amount of textiles and clothing exported to Korea amounted to US $2 billion 967 million, up 16.33% from the same period last year.

I believe that with the stimulation of trade cooperation between China and South Korea, the volume of textile and clothing exported to China will also increase further.

< /p >

Compared to P, imports were relatively stable, maintained at 20~27 billion dollars, and the amount of imports in 2013 was $2 billion 447 million, a decrease of 2.93% over the same period last year.

< /p >

< p > in the future of strengthening trade cooperation between China and South Korea, Chinese textile and garment enterprises should fully understand the direction of the policy of the country, pay attention to the dynamic cooperation between China and Korea, make use of the preferential trade conditions for the establishment of the China ROK free trade area and the direct exchange between China and South Korea in the course of the visit, and deepen the understanding of trade and investment cooperation between them so as to achieve the goal of mutual benefit and win-win.
