It gives me immense pleasure to learn that you are going to publish the first issue of TEXtalks for providing reading material for stakeholders of the textile industry that is vital for the promotion of textile sector in the country. I commend the publisher for its efforts.

The textile sector has played a vital role in development of economic activities of the country. I hope this magazine will provide an opportunity to our readers for updating them about textile industry developments.

The present government is taking all necessary steps to boost textile industry including awareness programme for producing clean and contamination free cotton. The investment and trade polices of the government are business friendly and are aimed at accelerating the pace of progress and economic activities by addressing the concerns of business community.

I wish the editor Mr. Yousaf Fareed, and the team members of the magazine all the success for their great endeavor.
